The results - and a couple of extra prizes!

Nov 19, 2008 03:27

A quick note on the judging, first.

Once our judges were through with their ratings, we saw that there were a large number of ties in the top ten, most notably, a four-way tie at first place.
We had made no reference to tied places in the contest conditions. But all our calls for submission focused on the top prize being available to one winner, and ( Read more... )

Anyone who was at the event care to give us absentees a first-hand account of what happened? Might be a good writing exercise! :-)

Hi Sriniram

Going to do that.

The top 134 can be accessed already at http://quick-tales.livejournal.com and we are going to upload the entire lot of submissions soon.

Yes, they've been only marked through the entry-numbers, and that was done to i) facilitate the poll, and ii) keep the short-list anonymous till the final winners were out.

Soon as we have the database sorted, they'll all be up. Or we could have the members post their oen entries. Co-ordinating this even as i reply to you.

Hi! You had mentioned on my blog that there will be a certain announcement regarding some other prizes. Is there going to be any?

I do share Sharath's view on the issue of the special prize.

It comes across as an emotional decision- and human beings have been known to be that way!!

First of all thanks to Live Journal and Caferati for conducting the competition. It was my first attempt in writing something like flash fiction...a good learning experience it was. I hope I'll improve in future.

Congratulations to all the winners and even to all the participants.

The one thing that I can't stop myself from sharing is the coincidence that occurred regarding the Jury Special Prize and the plot of my own story entered for the competition. It's so encouraging that the Jury and LJ decided to give recognition to the creativity of the winner of the Jury Special Prize. Hats off to you for taking the right decision and encouraging talent (putting rules aside).

Thanks
