Contest is Over
- Contest was judged on May 31
- Rewards: Gold: 300, Silver: 100
- Final notes: In keeping with the purpose of this contest, i.e. to provide Bronze winners with the opportunity of moving up to Silver, and for Silver Trophy winners to move up to gold, I have awarded 1 BRONZE TROPHY PREWRITE
with a SILVER TROPHY in this contest and 1 SILVER TROPHY PREWRITE with GOLD for this contest.
PLEASE, TAKE NOTE: THERE will be ROUND II
As promised, there will be 10 finalists from the
BRONZE PREWRITE WINNERS & 10 finalists from the SILVER PREWRITE WINNERS>
They will be in the order I've arranged after the GOLD & SILVER WINNERS.
You who qualify for ROUND II may enter the same BRONZE OR SILVER PREWRITE, or you
may choose a different entry; HOWEVER< keep in mind, whatever you enter, if you''re among the 10 finalists, you MUST enter ONLY a BRONZE if you originally entered a BRONZE & ONLY a SILVER ENTRY if you originally entered
a SILVER here.
With that said, let me add that it was a joy
and pleasure to read such craftmanship and poetic creativity. It was not difficult to judge
this contest, it was nearly IMPOSSIBLE.
Each of you are worthy of awards.
KEEP YOUR EYES OPEN FOR ROUND II which will be posted today, after this contest.
CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL THE WINNERS!!!
and to ALL THE FINALISTS; you're all talented
poets.

-

-

-
wow, have fun reading all those entries. ahah. lots of judging.
-
i entered: you're uninvited.
and i want to win.
and it was a silver winner.
but i dont want the format to get messed up, and it will if i edit that in my authors notes, because i'm not
a gold member anymore. lol
-
I WANT TO WIN
-
Hé, that's strange, something must have gone wrong with my second (Silver) entry http://allpoetry.com/poem/1520065 because I had put the 'I want to win' in the AN, but somehow it didn't show up in your contest. Oh well, no sweat, another time.
