Contest is Over

  • Contest was judged on March 14
  • Rewards: Gold: 250, Silver: 125, Bronze: 75, Honorable mention: 1 people
  • Final notes:
    That was really a tough competition. I realized how differently poets think. Every single poem is special in a way. I enjoyed reading all the entries. Dear poets, thanks for your valuable time and for sharing your valuable poems with us.

    I thank my silent judge, Dr Veer, for his valuable time..but for him, the judging would not have been that easier to me. Thank you, Professor.

    Congratulations Winners. HMs are in order. Don’t take scores to heart. Some prewrites were matching the prompts very well and some didn’t work out that effectively. It doesn’t mean that your poem scored very less and others’ scored well. I really liked all your entries. Dear poets, but for your participation, I would not have hosted this contest successfully. I will send across the points, as a token of appreciation, personally, to others who don’t take home any trophy.
