Thanks to the prize donors - CDSinex and Nikki - for their generosity and support of Absolute Write and the AW Poetry Forum.

Thanks to all the voters, who took the time to read and cast their ballots.

Here are the Nothing Contest prizewinners:

Third prize, for The Iridophore Layer: KellyAssauer

Second prize, for I Take Nothing: ajc

First prize, for The Boy Who Kept Nothing: Blarg


Congratulations to all! I'll contact the winners to arrange prize selection and delivery.

I'll post more details on the results, and post the entrants' names with their poems, in the coming day.

Thank you all for your interest. Let's do it again soon!

Amazing poetry by all who submitted!

Honestly, the single most difficult contest I have ever participated in. Thanks so much to poetinahat and all the support from all those other AW members that helped put together another great contest!

Congrats to ajc and Blarg!!

Great poems!

I'm going to go put my pom poms down now 'cause my arms are really tired... ;)

Nice surprise! Grats to ajc and KellyAssauer, and thanks to the prize donators and to poetinahat and the forum for putting the whole thing together! Which was probably a pain in the butt ... but it did lead to some fun and suspense!

congrats!
I did the usual clutch up when I heard the word contest, so of course I didn't participate, not that I didn't think it was a wonderful idea. alas, I find I'm a difficult personality to maneuver sometimes.
I'm really happy others were able to rally.
cheers!

BOO!!!

I've been traveling and had wanted to get in on the fun but missed it. At least I have the opportunity to sit back and read some incredibly good poetry!

Thanks, PNHT and everyone for presenting the contests. Good show!!

Congrats to the winners!
