Round One: Judging Information

Congrats on making it to Round One. :) Here are the scores and other important judging notes for the end of this round. First, we'll go name by name:

Rachael: Your powerful imagery and sensory details have kept you safe. Congratulations. You'll be moving on.

Amanda: You were very close to being eliminated this round. Like Lucy mentioned, the list-ish style of your first few stanzas threw the readers off a bit. But you're safe.

Dev: Congratulations. :) You're the gold winner, and for good reason, too.

Maple: A very delicate, soft touch to your piece. Well done. You are safe.

Dawn: While the beginning tripped some of the judges up, you ended on a beautiful note, and carried your alliteration through well. You are safe.

Junysia: Some redundance, and some use of filler words...but overall, nicely played. You are safe.

Kristy: Your personal connection and innate brilliance have rendered you, without a doubt, safe. Congratulations.

Mairead: You played this challenge well - a beautiful array of images, and savory descriptions. Saaaafe!

Jasper: You've left the judges sighing. Absolutely brilliant.

Matt: You had so many quotable lines throughout your piece. Amazingly played, and you're definitely safe.

Silent Sorceress: Your imagery, repetition, and overall word choice was excellent. You are safe.
