Contest is Over

  • Contest was judged on August 21, 2008
  • Rewards: Gold: 1000, Silver: 500, Bronze: 250, Honorable mention: 2 people
  • Final notes:
    To each and everyone of you thank you, this contest threw up some brilliant pieces and if you don't go and read the Gold winner you are missing out as well as silver and bronze, there was a bee's dick between all of them and the rest deserved something as well but there can only be what I can afford. See you next time.

                  just write as if you are the object lol the article so to speak, lol i hate grammar lessons lol...try a piece where you personnify yourself, how you feel without all the similies and the word 'like'
                  i.e.

                  I am soft
                  like clay

                  i.e. I am soft clay...different connotation altogether
