Last year, I held the first contest that I ever have here at LDW.
Knowing that talented writers lurk on our blogs and forums and occasionally show us bits of their spark and sizzle, I wanted to see even more and decided to lure them with two things that few folks can resist: glory and free stuff.

My essay contest had two questions and two prizes. You can learn about the contest and prizes here.

I expected that I would get some great entries, but what I did not expect is that I would not be able to just pick two winners. Therefore, I expanded the Winner’s Circle by adding an Honorable Mention to each category and offered the same prizes to them.

The winners have been chosen and their entries are posted. They get their own page, right here on my blog.
Congratulations to all that participated!
