Contest is Over

  • Contest was judged on December 16, 2008
  • Rewards: Gold: 400, Silver: 150, Bronze: 75, Honorable mention: 5 people
  • Final notes:
    Thank you for making this contest so successful! I literally awarded half of the entries trophies, and was incredibly close to awarding more! Every piece was sincere, and all the emotion was real. That may seem like a given for poetry, but I have received some pretty shallow entries in the past, unfortunately. Thank you again for your time and sincerity! =)

    For the song option, can you choose like, one line or stanza and write the whole thing about that ? or does it have to be the song in a whole ? Cause I'm pretty sure I'm picking Iris by the Goo Goo Dolls <3
