Art Prompt Writing Contest # 12 - Results

Source

First off, huge apologies for the tardiness with announcing the results of the 12th art prompt writing contest. As you may be aware, The Writers' Block had a very important developmental meetup in Gatlinburg, TN and since our return, things have been hectic on The Block.

As a reminder, authors were tasked with writing an original piece of fiction using the following photograph by @vaughndemont as a story prompt.

Our judges for this round were @anikekirsten, @anarcho-andrei and @jordan.lesich. We received seventeen entries and our judging team poured over each and every one before awarding points to each story. So, enough waffle, who won?

In first place with "The Dogs" is @nobyeni.

Whoa! That was pretty creepy. Loved the part with the drawing. The reversal was excellent. The suspense leading the shift was pretty on point...I had a lot of fun reading that!

Congratulations, you win 10 Steem.

Next up is @negativer with "Long Walk".

That was great. Very immersive, the prose just carries you through. The grimness of it and the reflections were excellent.

Great job, you win 7 Steem.

Third place was very close but the final decision was @alheath's "A Coward's Exit".

Very well composed. The melancholy and hopelessness in Harry's life was fully-realized.

Well done, you win 5 Steem.

Thank you to everyone who entered and congratulations to the winners.
