Winners!
Whew-eee! It's taken some time to read through all of your entries and decide on the winners. What a treat, though. I've read poetry and stories that have moved me to tears, both of sadness and laughter. There is such a wide variety of genres and takes on the prompts. I am genuinely thrilled with what I have read. But, I realised I couldn't just choose one winner for each week. I discovered this when I couldn't choose between a poem and a story the first week. So I decided to award my favourite poem and story for each week. Both of the books holding the poems will receive the exclusive 25K Awardicon. All of my favourite entries for each song will receive 5K in raffle tickets. My favourite poem and story, over the whole of the month, will get the exclusive 200K plaque. Not forgetting those of you who wrote an entry for at least seven days of the week: You will receive a 170K Awardicon for your books.

Okay. I think that's it. All that's left now is to announce the winners ...
