Contest is Over
- Contest was judged on April 13
- Rewards: Gold: 500, Silver: 200, Bronze: 100, Honorable mention: 3 people
- Final notes: Well this one was really tough to judge (I know everyone says that so my sincerity is left to your discretion.) I was really interested in reading the first poems because I wanted to see why people got onto AP in the first place...lots of emotion. I can't really tell what criteria I used...just went with what I liked I suppose. Anyhoo...thank you everyone who entered. I really enjoyed reading all your work. We must do this again sometime
P.S. I always applaud two happy face things...just what I do. It's nothing personal haha.

Hi!
I am pretty certain I entered my first poem, I have over 420 though and they were in alphabetical order. I am moderately certain Hand on My Heart was the first one I placed on however. -
Thank you for the honorable mention...
and for hosting such a great contest
