Contest is Over

• Contest was judged on November 30, 2008
• Rewards: Gold: 600, Silver: 100, Bronze: 30
• Final notes:
  First of all: thank you for your patience most of you. A lot of entries, not that much time and then suddenly a computer screen that stopped working
  
  Second of all: how is it possible there were still some succeeding to enter poetry more than 25 lines... hmm... guess who wasn't paying attention then huh?
  
  Nevertheless, congrats to winners and those who are in preliminary list.
  I'd give out honorable mentions but I dislike those ugly green trophies... As if they're made from iron and got rusty and green from standing too long in a hidden corner of the background...
