The Judging Process

Considering the number of entries, we have decided to split the judging process into two rounds.

During the first round every judge chooses their three most favourite entries.

  The selected pieces will then be subjected to more detailed inspection and will be rated from one to five.

The one with the higher score will become winner and the second scoring entry will become a runner-up. All the picks form the first round will be featured as honourable mentions.
The judges will take into consideration aspects such as originality, interpretation of the theme, composition and design.

Our Judges




  If you try in any way to influence the decision of the judges, your entry will be disqualified!

Donors Feature

In gratitude to everyone who supported this event we have decided to make a feature of the people who donated to or advertised the contest. We will be eternally grateful to you!

EyrieStanding here
In the clear of the dark of the moon
Soon to see the sun break
across the crags and the flagstone
steps of giants
long faded, amidst serrated peaks
commanding valleys, embracing mists
and the hiss of the blue serpent
on the floor
under shade of granite guardians,
stone soldiers, in
uniforms of ice and evergreen.
Shall I plant my nest here
at the barrier
of earth and heaven,
Or push off instead
to meet the headwind
and plummet,
to come to rest in the breast
of the mist and the fangs
of glittering stone?
Or straddle the dawn,
and drop the sticks,
and fan my wings
and find the clouds awaiting. Real Men of Genius
Bud Light Presents: Real Men of Genius
(real men of genius!)
Today we salute you, Mr. Devious News Article Rejector Guy.
(Mr. Devious News Article Rejector Guy!)
One hundred people loved the article, but what do they know?
(wake up, sheeple!)
Anyone can lend their public support, but your faceless thumbs-down will be heard around the world.
(anonymity is my friend!)
For you, it's not about the content or the cause, it's about the DDs you've never received on your erotic furry fiction.
(just don't understand me!)
Yours is a lone voice now, but soon the faceless masses will pour in to reject this article along with you, just as soon as you can make the alt accounts.
(my personal army!)
So crack open an ice-cold Bud Light, ninja of negation, because no party is complete without a wet blanket.
(Mr. Devious News Article Rejector Guy!)





Two Perspectivesi am perceived differently by
             everyone
  what i thought was “right”
              wasn’t
they condemn me, making me
                see
            their way
    I already see their way.
      they don’t see mine
  they don’t understand me
they don’t think i am human
                (No)
       I am not Human.

AnythingScream.  Break something.  Cry.  Do anything.  Anything other than nothing.  You have no time to sit around doing nothing.  Do something useful.  Use your time wise.  School is for learning.  Use the time management skills you learnt last year.  Manage time now.  You stress.  All the time.  Never before have you been this behind.  Work.  Work.  Work.  Study hard.  Complete those assignments and then write in your own time.  Not now.  Get to work.  Stop using this as your break.  You want all five completed before the week is out.  Break a leg.  Enjoy it.  Think of all the nothings you can do when you’re done.

Sophie cocked her head to one side, and studied her son's unhappy expression. He looked so much like his father, and so grown up for a fourteen year old.
"Nick, honey-" she began, reaching a hand to curl a stray hair back behind his ear.
"Come on Mum, at least wait," the boy insisted, shoving his hands into his jean pockets, "It's been two months. You don't have to rush into things."
"Nick…"
"I've seen the way you look at him!" he enraged, taking a step back to ensure he didn't hurt her in his outburst. He kept his fists closed tight in his pockets. "You're frightened of him!"
"Nick," Sophie soothed, sitting down on the edge of the bed, "I don't want to be alone."
"You're not," Nick whispered, "You've got me. And Damien."
"Please, Nick," Sophie insisted, looking her son up and down, "You're not making this any easier."
"You don't want to marry him!" Nick moaned, taking his hands out of his pockets and walking over to her, reaching his
