Contest is Over

  • Contest was judged on June 30
  • Rewards: Gold: 500, Silver: 400, Bronze: 300
  • Final notes:
    This contest in honesty was the hardest I have yet to judge. Perhaps because these writes were to speak to me on a more personal level than poetry did, and for that, I thank you all. I have commented on each letter with a small letter of my own, some I am sorry if I bombarded you with my rambling but...I thank you immensely. Everyone was on the finalists list and I just wanted to say, they all deserved gold and I would have been honored to award all.

    The finalist list is in a particular order, so Cannonsfire, matant, please do not feel as if you are last, you know what they say....

    Gold - inconnu's sister by untitled.
    Silver - of rice and beans by Edie
    Bronze - quit pressing the screen by luvdrkchocolate

    Special highlights to:
    The Rosary of Weathering by Blue Rew - speaks of love and longing throughout time before it was tangible.
    To my Lovely Girl Adrie by j i n- for everyone woman who needs to remember why she is special and important.
    From One Romantic To Another by MJ Donnelly - also for everyone woman, it reminds her that there are still men who understand what women truly are, the 'she' element that makes men greater.
    on ugly nights it's terrible by zillion - immensely beautiful and heart-wrenching
    to dwell on existence by Cannonsfire - this was just immensely beautiful.

    I thank you all once more for your time and your immensely beautiful words. I look forward to your continued writing and if you need something to spark your muse:

    wake (letter contest)
    &
    hush (letter contest)

    I just noticed that this was still open. I bookmarked it and I'll try to write if I can find some inspiration to write something good enough.
