Congratulations to all, entrants and winners alike. This was a tough competition and in my mind, everyone wins (even those that read/see/hear the entries) as we see the blessings of awen in action! Kudos to you all.

Congratulations to all participants of this season's Eisteddfod! :applause: It's definitely a bit tense sometimes, putting your work out there for all to see and then having people vote on the works they like the best, but anyone who participates in an activity like that has already won in all matters that really count.

Congratulations also to all recipients of a Gold Harp! :applause: This year's competition was truly remarkable.

I am honored and humbled to receive a golden harp this season. I didn't originally write my prose for entry in the Eisteddfod, but rather as a way to bring healing and closure to the guilt and loss I had been dealing with. I will dedicate this golden harp to the memory of my grandfather. Thank you one and all for your love and support during this hard time. :hug:

Compliments to all participants, and congratulations to all winners. Thanks for the harp - it's much appreciated, although more credit is due to the Lady who so inspired me to create a representation of her :D
