The writing phase of the Poo Lit Surprise Writing Competition is now over. The entries will be judged and the winners will be announced on Saturday, April 22, so make sure to check back then to claim your winnings or lack thereof.

Judges: please read the articles and rank your top five in each category, with #1 being your favorite, #2 the second best, etc. When you are finished, email or IRC PM your votes to whoever recruited you (Rcmurphy, Gwax or MoneySign).

The entries:


Best Article


Judging guidelines: none, just pick the best overall articles


Best Rewrite


Judging guidelines: submissions will be judged on how well they improve the content being rewritten, so the value of a submission is based on the changes the writer makes, not the final product.


Best Illustrated Article


Judging guidelines: submissions will primarily be judged on the quality of the images and the value they add to the article. Though the style of writing is not the main focus, it must not be neglected. The use of an image as an adjunct (definition) to the article rather than an addition will improve an article's chances of winning.
With rewrites it is not enough to simply add images and a few uninspired lines to an already-existing article. The writer must have added most of the value.
