UPDATE: We want to thank everyone for participating, and their patience with us as the super secret judges talked back and forth about who was the winner.
Let me start by saying – we were overwhelmed by the number of entries for our first event – 43!!
And there were so many good ones, the judges actually all had different choices for their top pick. However, they had 3 stories that seemed to be favorites with the majority. So it is with great pleasure that we want to congratulate:
Third Place: Monster by Kim Winderlich-Cady
Second Place: Fine Dining by James McDonald
First Place: Breakfast by Bruce Mulford
We will be recording these top 3 stories for our podcast as well as posting them to our website. And Bruce has won a ticket to this year’s Geek Gala! Congratulates to all our winners and a special thank you to everyone who participated – we hope to do another contest again soon!
