Contest is Over

  • Contest was judged on October 13, 2007
  • Rewards: Gold: 300, Silver: 75, Bronze: 50, Honorable mention: 2 people
  • Final notes:
    Thank you all for entering. Gold please pay it forwards.
    I didnt comment anyone...it's not even 7.30am & although I can judge well...I cant comment lol!

    I chose my winners by 2 factors:

    1. Relatability
    2. Use of poetic device

    With such particular contest stipulation, i.e. 40 words only, it's easy to get lost in "pretty" writes, but for this contest I wanted the extra mile & it's what I believe I got with my final 5.

    Congrats to the winners and thanks to all!!

    well i'd reserve, but my inspiration just buried its head under that sea-bed so i'll not embaress myself ... if it comes back and there are still spaces I'll have a go.
