Congrats everyone!!!! the work was amazing this year, well done to everyone!
If you are a dreamer, come in.
If you are a dreamer, a wisher, a liar
A hope-er, a pray-er, a magic bean buyer
If you're a pretender, come sit by my fire
For we have some flax golden tales to spin
Come in, Come in.

Many thanks to all who voted for my entry! I'm just so happy to have finally won a golden harp :grin: Fab work everyone, I always enjoy looking at all the entries.

Also a question as this is my first time winning. How do I get my golden harp? Does it arrive somehow or will it get added to my signature for me? :oops:

Blessings,
Stormoak

Hi Stormoak.
Soon enough those luminaries fondly referred to as the Fod Mods will send you a lovely, shiny harp all polished and ready to add to your sig, I promise.

Congratulations.

Well done everyone! I really enjoyed browsing the entries.

i thank you Lord & Lady for this most amazing
day: for the leaping greenly spirits of trees
and a blue true dream of sky; and for everything
which is natural which is infinite which is yes

All the winners should have received a PM about the harps. If you were a winner and did not receive the PM, please let me know!

Friends and fellow OBODies,

I am honored and humbled to have won a Golden Harp at my very first Eisteddfod! I thank Brighid, Patroness of Bards, and the Green Man himself for the inspiration that went into that poem. Thanks to those who voted for me, and blessings to all the entrants! Again, a very deep and humbling honor.

Brightest blessings to all, from the heart of the Greenwood,

Tom (a.k.a. Robin o' the Greenwood)
"Ask the Green Man where he comes from, ask the Cup that fills with red;
Ask the old grey Standing Stones that show the Sun his way to bed.
Question all as to their ways, and learn the secrets that they hold:
Walk the lines of Nature's palm, crossed with silver and with gold."
-- Jethro Tull, "Cup of Wonder"
