Congrats to the winners and to everyone who took part - some great poems and the hardest thing every week was to pick a top three. Thanks again to the organisers - great job.

Well done, Bear, Sonora and ItsSteveDave. Some fantastic poetry all the way through the compo. Well done also to Wilkybarkid for organising the whole thing. This should be an annual competition!

It's been great fun, I've had at least one Saturday night panic staring at a blank screen with the deadline looming, and I've faced an almost impossible choice between 25 great poems every week. I've learned a lot. Thanks Wilky for organising it, and I agree that it should be annual!

Well done to the medalists. A smash-hit of a competition and huge thanks to the Wilky Bar Kid. What a stroke of olympic inspiration. What about a decathlon every year?

What about a version so that writers of prose don't feel left out? A Flash Fiction 'athon?

Congratulations to the three medallists. It was a great contest, taught me a lot. The hardest thing was the judging, so much good work to read. Linda

Bear, Very many congratulations I didn't realise you had won this competition though I am not surprised because I find your work hugely imaginative. I am so pleased for you. Moya

Congratulations must also go to Sonora and ItsSteveDave very well done. And to the rest I send my best wishes to you all. I have seen a number of names on that list whose work I have read and from that I hazard a guess that the standard was very high. Well done one and all and well done to WilkyBarKid Moya

Can someone own up to the poem from the last round - 'Maintaining Excellence in Credit User Services (MECUS House Longterm Facility)' I thought it was excellent and hopefully that person will post it to the site!

Well done winners. I'd be up for a flash fiction version too. I felt a bit left out this time, not being a poet.

Congratulations to the Top three and everyone else. It was very hard to judge this competition as the standard was so high. Looking forward to the anthology.
