Contest is Over
- Contest was judged on December 11, 2008
- Rewards: Gold: 500, Silver: 250, Bronze: 250, Honorable mention: 5 people
- Final notes: Thank you for all the entries. It saddens me that I'm only allowed to give out 1 gold, silver and bronze because before I'd hold "pick-ups" but someone complained and hence I can no longer able to do that. To add insult to injury AP has decided 5 Honourable Mentions is the limit so I can’t even give people HMs.
My 8 of the best
Freelance Ricochets Muted Somewhere
Suggestions of Soul
Reality shifts with a twisting of my tongue
Salty
Burn
Neon Nights
Tilting landscapes
Blue Note Cafe
I have to say that it was incredibly difficult to differentiate between 2-5 so the person who got bronze will get the same points as silver and the other two will get points sent to them.
My 8 from the rest (in no real order)
Las Vegas
To Get an Honest Reaction
Warped
Red Asphalt
Hit.
Flicker
Headlights in the Distance
Corner Stores in the Snowlight
Even if your poem is not in any of these lists I appreciate you entering and would recommend EVERYONE who entered to have a browse and make comments.

what is thatttt?

knowing would ruin it, that's the whole point of the contest
-
-
lol!
you're a horrid person -
-
I know
-
-
-
-
cool pic!
-
-
you have a nice one too
-
thanks - if you mean my avatar....I have a contest going on it.....
-
-
Is that, camera tossing?
-
-
that's how I got the effect
-
-
Oh! Haha. Wow, I knew it.
What camera do you own? A big photography fanatic? 
-
-
no, actually, that was my old camera-phone camera. Sony Ericcson K800i - has the best camera I've ever seen on a phone.
I am partial to photography, though I wouldn't say fanatic
-
-
Oh Sony Ericcson cameras are pretty good. So I'm not surprised, though I can tell the pixels aren't all too great. But I like the picture.
Oh don't worry, I'm no fanatic either. Well atleast not yet, my dad is a big photography buff. I am hoping to follow in his footsteps.
-
-
my new phone has a 5 mega pixel camera but takes worse photos. go figure =/
I would like to have a cool camera with lots of tricks and gizmos but I'd really have no time to use it...or not enough time to warrant spending so much.
Your dad's pictures were awesome on your contest
-
-
Oh.. I think I saw a billboard of that one somewhere. I've never been a Sony Ericcson fan. Nokia and I share a lovely bond. I don't like the joysticks of Sony Ericcson phones, quite disappointing they are. But I hear the new phones come without it. So they should be good. =/
Oh and about the camera, I know exactly how you feel! Haha We're on the same boat. My dad has a great collection of all sorts of lens and cameras, and he just bought me a Canon, 8.2 megapixel, I use it for...every other purpose but 'good photography'. Haha. Not very proud of myself.
Hey, thanks! I'll let him know.
-
-
Sony Ericcson make the best in my opinion. I would have got the C902 if it was available on the contract I wanted. I have a Samsung touchscreen now, it's pretty neat.
I used to think Nokia was good but I know a lot of people who've had a lot of problems with quality recently. I used to have a Nokia but it got nicked
-
-
Yeah, so I hear. How are you surviving with a SAMSUNG after using a Sony phone?
My dad surprised me with a Blackberry about a month ago =S and I gave it away, cause it was so shit difficult to use. It felt as if the phone was testing my patience, and even though I'm full of that...this one phone pissed me off like no other, so well I've had a Nokia E51 for 5 months now and I love it! Again, I'd like to add here..I'm a loyal Nokia customer.
Camera phones can be slow sometimes, but I always carry my camera with me where ever I go, so my Nokia works perfectly fine and and I've dropped it a gazillion times too, but the quality is pretty amazing., its sleek and extremely classy! Love it.
Okay, I can't keep bragging about it. I'm in love...with my phone. Sorry. Haha.
-
-
It's pretty good - best touch screen phone I've tried (apart from maybe the iPhone).
Blackberry's look fiddly and business like lol.
I dropped my Sony loadsa times too, it's rock solid!
There's nothing worse than dropping a new piece of kit for the first time
-
-
Oh the iPhone is awesome, but honestly speaking...touch screens kind of scare me. Haha. I know that might sound weird, but I recently bought the iTouch, after months of pleading and what not...and even though I love it and it's great in terms of.. well.. everything. But the touch screen gets so annoying sometimes. =/
-
-
I've got a good old classic iPod. An iPod touch wouldn't hold all my music
-
-
OMG. YES! SO right. I only have my favorites up there. Rest, is just still on my laptop. =/ and I must admit I don't like that at all. But I just bought it after days and weeks of convincing, if I tell my dad I dont want it or dont like it. He's going to be so very upset. So i'm just going to live with it now. and keep adding and deleting songs.

The rules scare me...I think I'm going to wait for you to judge this one and i'll probably enter in the next contest.. lets see what your judging criteria is.
-
-
Don't let them scare you, I just like to fully state my intentions before people enter my contests. Although "honest" I do it in a helpful way so...
I'm really a big softy
-
-
Hahaha. Okay, I believe you!
But I think I'd still want to be the third person this time.
-
-
Fair enough
-
-
-
-
This is cool.
-
Oh, I so have to enter. Beautiful piece!
-
Hope you like my entry.

Do you want it reopened?
-
-
