Right chaps, here it is - The Very First *writeaway dA-Wide Contest!

RIGHT. I am terribly sorry that this has taken such a long time to sort out. Call is major breakdown in communications, but I can now happily announce the winners of The Great Glass Writeaway Competition. It was hell to get these to the point they are now, so I am afraid to say the judges decision is final.

1st Place

Addiction by ~artistic-poet [link]


2nd Place

(Was going to be ~TheKingfisher however they appear to have deleted all their pieces, so I am moving up everyone one position in the decision making, well done everyone else.)

This Thing by *Blanzeflor [link]


Honourable Mention

I am about to communicate all the people who donated prizes, so everyone gets what they deserve. I want to thank you again for the high turnout and quality of entries, and of course congratulations again to the winners.

----------

Remember it is separate from the regular monthly competitions which can be found elsewhere.

This will be one big contest spread over a longer period of time than the monthly contests and this one also has some pretty amazing prizes, which I shall divulge later. Go and fave the news journal in the mean time

The Contest

Simple write a piece of poetry or prose using the prompt of…

Addiction

… that’s pretty simple, no? Write anything that is inspired by that word.

----------

Unfortunately every competition needs them…

1000 words of prose or 50 lines of poetry or less.
All literary forms accepted.
The deadline for this contest is Saturday August 23rd 2008.


----------

To Submit
You must be a member of *writeaway to take part – but joining is really easy just note us with ‘Join’ in the title and watch the club.
Upload your piece as a deviation or scrap and then send a note to *writeaway with the title ‘Addiction Entry’ – It is very important that you use this title so it doesn’t get confused with the monthly competition entries.
