    Smile And the winner is... Poetry contest announcement

    It looked like a close race this year, but the second round gave one definite victor. Our somewhat impatient winner is The Stranger, with the poem "The last survivor"!

    Congratulations!

    The second place goes to the untitled first entry, and the third to "The Cowardly Knight".

    Thanks to everyone else for making this year’s contest a success, whether by participating or by voting! Special thanks go to Agent Miles for creating the advertizement and to the Stranger himself for suggesting this competition.

    For a last look at the poems, go here. To view the poll results, click here to see the first round and here to see the second round.

    Huh, who'd have guessed? Congratulations The Stranger! You deserve this.

    And of course, thanks Ludens for organising the contest.

    And I'll thank the one guy who voted for my poem, "Ode to EB". Thanks, mate!
