Hi Laurie,

You said "the winners have been determined as I type." How many winners are there going to be? Thanks.

Hi Charles~

Very observant...i can't 'get away' with anything around here

What i decided last night was that it didn't seem right to have One winner and 25 "losers."

So i got inventive and decided upon this:

Grand Prize~one
First Prize~3 to be chosen
Second Prize~3 to be chosen
Third Prize~3 to be chosen
Honorable Entrants~the remainder

Then i set out to fulfill this chart with the poems. If moans and groans result from my unilateral decision...i can deal with it, that's why they pay me the big bucks (hahaha). I do hope no one has strong feelings to the contrary of my decision. I can be impeached, i suppose

regards,
Laurie

Thanks, Laurie,

So ten out of 26 entries are going to get prizes?

That's some contest.

Hi Charles~

You are almost correct. You will see 'why' i say this later. And for the record 3 of the 26 poems were rejected (because of personal references) leaving a total of 23.

regards,
Laurie
