Great Response
I want to start off by thanking everyone who participated in the SPU Poetry Contest #1. We had around thirty entries, which was more than we anticipated! This made it quite difficult for us to judge; there were a lot of great entries. Undoubtedly, there are great poems who have not ended up on the winning list; in the end, it's a competition.
May I remind everyone, that the prizepool had been increased to 7-3-1 thanks to a 6SBD donation by @angelveselinov. For the second contest (which will be announced in the upcoming days), @walkingkeys has been generous to send out 1SBD to help with the prizepool.
Results
| Rank | Poem | Poet | SBD Prize |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1st | The Process of Writing a Love Letter | @itinerantartist | 7 SBD |
| 2nd | The Brink | @mdbrantingham | 3 SBD |
| 3rd | The More Than This | @simgirl | 1 SBD |
Congratulations to the three winners! Good job to all those who participated for giving us a tough job to judge. Here is the proof of transfers:
Upcoming Contest
We will be trying to announce the second contest tomorrow, so stay tuned. I will be editing this post to provide the link once it's posted. If you would like to help out with the prizepoool, you are welcome to send a donation/sponsor with a memo that clarifies its purpose, e.g. Donation/Sponsorship for SPU Poetry Contest #2. We hope that you all had fun, and I cannot wait to read the pieces you will come up with for the second week!
