Great entries in the Photo competition. Thanks to all who voted (especially those who voted for my entry ). I am very happy to share the win with Heike. This only the second time I have put a photo into a competition. (The first was in the 1960's and I didn't even get honorable mention! ) Now I will have go find a blue ribbon to stick on the copy of the picture I have hanging in my hallway. Again, thank you all.

Congrats all and thank you! I am honoured to share the short poem award with Kitkalas, for whom I voted.

Since I abstained from categories I participated in, I think that means you won.

Congrats, and thanks for your vote!

[Dendrias]

I might be a little late, but I have a good excuse.
I take a deep bow before the participants for their great skills and thank the jury.

[Dragonwyst]

As a noob to all this....how does the applying of a little harp work?

[Aurora]

Hey Dragonwyst

To get a golden harp you need to win in one of the categories from the eisteddfod, and if at first you don't succeed try try again

umm - Kitkalas and I came tie in the Short Poem section - that means we either both get harps or both get half a harp each - but I don't see how it makes us losers...

[Aurora]

oopsie I voted for you too, In that case i believe it's one of the Fod squad who add the little harps to peoples tag lines, so you will need to PM one of them

[Jingle]

Due to the fact that most Eisteddfoddau occur while I am either getting ready for finals or midterms, it usually takes me a few weeks to get the harps out. Now that finals are over (sigh of relief), I hope to get to them shortly. Please bear with me.

[Mellinda]

Thank you and blessings on everyone and for all the nice entries.

Really enjoyed reading everyones words, art and music.

Peace and love
Melllinda
