ANNOUNCING THE RESULT OF THE 15SBD REWARD POOL CONTEST

A very warm Tuesday to all you beautiful Steemians. Yes! Today makes it exactly seven days I conducted a contest on the theme "Love and Obsession". I wrote a little prelude telling us what love and obsession is all about and when love stops being love and becomes obsession.

The judges took their time to go through all the enteries. It wasn't an easy job but they delivered excellently. All enteries were judged on the following basis

1. Does the prose/poetry tell a story of love that became an obsession?

2. How well was the obsessed character portrayed?

3. Literary excellence

4. Originality

5. Abiding to rules.

Each of the bases had 10 points making it a total of 50 points.

OBSERVATION

The judges looked out for literary excellence, structure and composition. During the judging process, they discovered that:-

1. There were lots of beautiful enteries that told the story perfectly.

2. There were also lots of enteries with literary excellence but did not address the subject deeply.

3. So many articles had punctuation errors and paragraphing errors.

4. One of the enteries was not original and hence was disqualified.

5. One of the enteries copied another person's entry and both were disqualified.
