"The Power of Dreams" contest has come to a close.
Edit: It was a tough decision for the first and second place winner. The votes were varied, but one piece squeaked out a narrow victory.

Our winner is *LadyLincoln with her deviation
Moody, Tearful Night.
Moody, Tearful Night has wonderful imagery, a eerie tone and an intriguing storyline!

Our runner up is *AmbientPersona's I Dreamt
I Dreamt makes great use of repetition, subtly linking the stanzas together to produce a emotionally powerful piece!



Our third place winner is Destroyed Dreams by ~Sighing-angel
Destroyed Dreams artistically depicts the trials of unrequited love through a very emotive poem.

Untouchable Dreams II by =tabzthefish
Untouchable Dreams II by =tabzthefish is an inspirational piece, filled with vivid imagery and a powerful message.


I would like to thank everyone who participated and helped in this contest.

Before we can begin having contests, we need to create a panel of 3-4 judges (this number may increase as our club grows).

Here's what we have in mind:

For contests, we will divide all entries, and distribute them to the judges. For example: let's say we have 8 entries. If we have four judges, we will give each judge 2 entries to judge. After looking at these entries, the judges would then tell us which one was best. That entry would move on to the final judging round. We would then have the 4 best deviations left. Each judge would then read all four, and let the club know which piece they think is best. The deviation with the most support from the judges wins the contest. All judging is strictly anonymous.

We are deciding the winners of contests in this way so that all members will not have to read 15 or more entries. This way, a few judges only have to read a few entries.

If you would like to be a judge, please do the following:
Send the club a note letting us know of your interest. In that note, include a link to a deviation that you have critiqued. We will find your comment and judge it. This will help us decide how you will perform as a judge for ~Wordsculptors. Your critique does not have to be on a deviation of another member of this club.

Please apply immediately. We hope to have contests running soon.
