Contest is Over

  • Contest was judged on November 6
  • Rewards: Gold: 300, Silver: 300, Bronze: 50, Honorable mention: 14 people
  • Final notes:
    Thank you all for being so patient with me and judging the contest. I really enjoyed all the entries very much! I was quite surprised by the diversity in the styles.

    I enjoyed it your writes so much I was completely compelled to add some awards. There are like 6 of them I'd love to give a gold award, and 5 of them I'd say definitely fitting for the Silver... without a doubt if nothing else 7 of them should have bronze... Lordy... I loved them all for different reasons.

    However, as we all know ... I'm restricted to only one Gold, Silver and Bronze. My decision was based simply on the overall affect of the prompt.

    There is NO order to the Honorable Mentions given, I wish I could had done more ~ Again, thank you I hope to see you again... Terrific job to all

      I can't control if its two unless I see whose entered. I have it anonymous and they would be able to enter a number of times. If I had some way to control that without knowing I would allow it.
