Contest is Over

  • Contest was judged on July 19
  • Rewards: Gold: 1200, Silver: 500, Bronze: 300, Honorable mention: 3 people
  • Final notes:
    The winners had the most profound messages -- gold and silver said it with the briefest and most powerful impact, but the other winners were also well written.I enjoyed the wide range of style and subject chosen.

    I hope to read a lot of you again

      if you would like it to be. it really centers around the title, so i suppose if the picture helps you express that, then go ahead. good to see ya around!
