From depths so seldom touched.

I won't bore you with a longwinded explanation of what I require from you and why. Getting straight to the point means giving you more time to think about what you're going to write...so here goes:



This is a quote prompt contest.

"sometimes, one must feel the pain of the pull in order to appreciate the tenderness of the touch" - by xJustifiablyMex (Me)





RULES:

1. No bashing others.
2. No bashing me.
3. Keep writes under 60 lines. Any style and form is welcome.
4. Grammar, punctuation and spelling are very important and will be taken into
consideration when judging commences.
5. The use of poetic device, i.e. Metaphor, imagery, alliteration, assonance etc.
will be favoured when judging commences.
6. HAVE FUN...afterall, that is what contests are all about!





Contest is Over

  • Contest was judged on November 2, 2008
  • Rewards: Gold: 400, Silver: 150, Bronze: 75
  • Final notes:
    I read all pieces several times and actually commented quite a few, but it seems that honesty wasn't really wanted and so the number of entries has diminished somewhat.

    The Gold winner here is simply stunning...it has the "wow" factor I see many on here searching for. This write totally blew me away every time I read it.

    Silver was a playground of excellent use of poetic device. This poem is thought-provoking and strong...a very fine entry.

    Bronze...the winner of this award gave me both heart and soul combined with good use of poetic device. This write, I felt, gave a raw honesty that I somehow can't find the words to explain.

    You always see contest hosts saying how they wish they could give everyone a trophy...and I very nearly added extra points for HM's...but those trophies above were surely hard-earned and I didn't wish to take anything away from those achievements.

    You all wrote well for the prompt and I'd like to thankyou for that. I would also recommend you read the finalists'...I'm a very hard judge to please and can be quite harsh with my critiques (sometimes honesty hurts overly-sensitive people) but these 3 writes shone for me and were remembered long after the reading of them.


    Thankyou all for entering and a well deserved congratulations to the winners.
