2008-10-03 [Teal Ribbon]: Is there a reason that the winners from last year aren't posted on here like the ones in the art and costume section are? I'm thinking it has to do with the fact it was a different theme last year poetry wise, while the art and costume section stays the same...

2008-10-03 [Lothuriel]: No it was probably overlooked by the lady who did them all. She went back through a lot of contests and worked very hard...so, I haven't complained <img:stuff/cheshmak.gif>

2008-10-03 [Jitter]: Actually it gets quite crammed if we add writing winners as well. I think that's why they're not here but they can always be seen at official competition winners gallery

2008-10-03 [Lothuriel]: One of the many reasons you are teh awesome! <img:61691_1132959456.gif>

2011-09-25 [MyAlterEgo]: I don't want to sound stupid, but can you define vintage poetry?

2011-09-25 [SilverFire]: Vintage is the theme, not a medium. You're not writing "vintage poetry" but poetry with a "vintage" topic.

2011-11-06 [Olwen]: when does the winner get announced?

2011-11-06 [wicked fae mage]: After the Literature Judges have discussed and debated which poem they feel should win. It could take a few days, but they have already started :)
