DataShark 1395 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Beef Jerky Spokesperson" 09-24-03, 03:16 AM (EST) "SSC3 Awards! " First let me apologize to everyone for the time it took to get these results posted. No excuses but I want to thank you all for your patience. I promise to do better. Again, we all need to thank SherpaDave for setting this up and I want to personally thank him for the opportunity to help with this. Thanks Dave! And now I shall steal Dave’s words from the WSC2 awards. Mostly because these words still hold for SSC3 but also cuz I weighted the points system the same way. (If it aint broke…) A huge thanks to everyone who entered, everyone who read the entries, everyone who gave feedback and everyone who voted. Once again, the talent shown by the members of this board was outstanding. The broad array of talent was clearly demonstrated in the voting--every single piece received at least one vote. So are you ready for the awards? Good! First, a brief explanation of how the winners were determined. I used a weighted points system wherein first place votes were worth 3 points, second place votes were worth 2 points, and third place votes were worth 1 point. Make sense? I hope so! Okay, here are the winners! Yay! Non-Fiction (NF) Gold: Caroline by Devious Weasel Silver: Senescent Hearts by Wheezy Bronze: All Grown Up by L82LIFE Flash Fiction (FF) Gold: The Last Game by TechNoir Silver: Anatomy of a DAW by Java Bronze: The Person Nobody Likes by Coconut Short Stories (SS) Gold: Mission Improbable-Hulaboobs Part 1 Part2 By L82LIFE Silver: Let Go of Yourself, and Soar Part 1 Part 2 Part 3 Conclusion by Sunny_Bunny Humor (HU) Gold: To Dave, With Love by Silvergirl1 Persona Narrative (PN) Gold: Persona Narrative 101 by Bebo Free Verse (FV) Gold: Unwanted by Breezy Silver: Sunday in New York With Ra by Sunny_Bunny Bronze: Enter by cqvenus Rhyming Poetry (RP) Gold: Love Storm by Sunny_Bunny Silver: Why Do I Despise You? by Breezy Bronze (We have a tie): Dentist Visit by SaphireLady Light Pollution by cqvenus Photography (PH) Gold: View from a boathouse by Java Silver (We have another tie): Butterfly by Breezy Over The Rainbow by echogirl Silver: Reach For The Sky by echogirl Visual Art (VA) Gold: Iggy The Psychedelic Glow Worm by echogirl Silver: Reflections by echogirl Bronze: Alien by cqvenus Salman Rushdie Award Since the time BDS (Before DataShark), in fact since the first Story Competition, this honor is bestowed upon the person who did not win another award but embodies the spirit of the contest. For the SSC3 we have two people who share this award. Both individuals provided feedback and caring encouragement to the participants of the SSC3. One stepped up and submitted a piece of their work in the contest. The writers and artists create their work putting a little piece of themselves in their submission. The best recognition that can be received is to have their work viewed and to get feedback. This contest’s Salmon Rushdie award goes to Buggy and Schnookie Palookie. Thank you both for giving words from your heart to the participants. Thank you all for a great contest and for your patience with my tardiness. Don’t stop now – keep it flowing The Writers' Rendez-Vous If you haven't yet, check this out! SmokeLong Quarterly   Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

TechNoir 9741 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 09-24-03, 06:20 PM (EST) 7. "RE: SSC3 Awards! " <ick> First thanks Sharkie. No apologies needed. We appreciate it -- it was a bunch of trouble. And thanks for thinking I'm worth a win ... Mostly, though, congratulations to the winners and the not-winners and to everybody who entered, and to those who tried and didn't enter and to those who got to read something they never would have tripped over otherwise. Everybody won. For those of you who tried for the first time, try again. Just an hour here and there. And see if you like it. And the rest of you? You all have stories and poems and pictures in you. </ick> Geez, I know nobody wants that much of Tech-ick. Just read it a sentence at a time ...   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top
