We received more than one hundred entries in this contest, and it was a delight to read all of them. From the original entries, we narrowed it down to ten finalists, and then the judges went to work, making the almost-too-hard choices. We appreciate every writer's participation in this contest, and will look forward to reading more in our next contest!
