Contest is Over

  • Contest was judged on November 17
  • Rewards: Gold: 400, Silver: 300, Bronze: 200
  • Final notes:
    Congrats to the winners!

    The gold entry was clearly inspired from the prompt in a similar direction but on a new path; it was written beautifully with profound, deep thought provoking emotions.

    Silver entry was abstractly related to the prompt, and written with a lot of powerful emotions.

    Bronze entry was a darkly beautiful, exact take on the prompt, and it’s too bad I am not allowed to give out two silvers.

    Thank you all for entering. Sorry this contest took so long to judge.

    Please read the top three winners; their pieces are stunning.

    I took up this habit at age eighteen,
    no one told us then it was bad.

    Blah. I am not good with the whole 'cigarettes' thing. Never really dealt with them in any way shape or form.
