Contest is Over

  • Contest was judged on September 6, 2008
  • Rewards: Gold: 300, Silver: 100, Bronze: 50
  • Final notes:
    Well, The only thing with having 5 entries, is, that it makes two of you feel you haven't done great in this contest. Wrong, The difference between winning and fourth or fifth are the facts that usually, 2nd, and 3rd and as much in my favour as 4th or 5th. there is very small significancies. Of course, there is one which sticks out and is submitted 1st, but after that, this is what makes judging very difficult. I troubled myself judging, and putting style, storyline, melody, feelings, and vibes to conclude it, then the judging had to be made. Thanks to all of you who entered for the contest's sake and I appreciate that very much. Best wishes to all, I hope you look out for my next contest. Titus
