Introspection: a series-- round three

Welcome to Round three! The list of contestants is a little smaller this time- there are 20 now instead of the original 29. Round three and four will work the same as one and two- you will be expected to enter one of the two rounds to stay in the competition further.

I'm not sure if Matt is judging this round or not but either way I am expecting greatness out of all of you

THIS ROUND'S THEME






my mother's eyes











Reflect on the female who nurtured you... or her absence.



EXPECTATIONS
1. You may enter any style and any length, but keep our attention.
2. If you do not enter this round, enter round 4 to stay in the competition.
3. Don't edit between judges' scores, we want to read the same piece.



IMPROVEMENT TIP

Keep a consistent tone throughout your piece.
If some sections seem more wordy or rushed than others,
it will skew the balance and probably won't be as well written.


RUBRIC


40- content/creativity
40- execution/form
20- cohesion/balance


A column will be posted with everyone's scores.
Points will go toward your cumulative point total.
Good luck!
-Cassidy and Matt

Contest is Over

  • Contest was judged on October 22
  • Rewards: Gold: 400, Silver: 200, Bronze: 100, Honorable mention: 2 people
  • Final notes:
    To those of you who entered- I am sorry this took me so long to judge. I have had an incredibly busy week, I know it's no excuse but I am still sorry. I was truly blown away by the entries this round, there were two pieces which were beyond beautiful and took the idea of this round to a whole new level. I decided the winner of gold based on personal improvement throughout this contest, as I was thoroughly impressed by the level of insight shown.

    I am posting a column momentarily, and will send the link to all of you. Thanks for participating, Cassidy
