MIB North Munchkin Poetry Contest

Munchkin Poetry Contest
The Winners

As promised, here are the winners. We've shown the top three, but only first place gets a prize beyond bragging rights.

The Judges Speak:

The judges voted based solely on the poems; they didn't know the names of the authors and, in fact, haven't found out WHO won until now.

1. The Munchkin by Dennis Rand
2. Levels of Munchkinhood by Rebecca Reamy
3. Munchkin Haiku #1 by Rebecca Reamy

People's Choice:

The popular voting saw nearly 700 votes cast.

1. The Munchkin by Dennis Rand
2. Every Card in the Deck by Steve Price
3. Levels of Munchkinhood by Rebecca Reamy

What were those rules again?

1. The contest will open on March 1, 2004 and close on March 31, 2004. No more entries will be accepted after that deadline. (All times are based on Eastern Standard, the home time zone of our director).
2. There is no limit to how many poems each person submits but they must be submitted one at a time using the form provided.
3. None of the poems will be displayed on this site until after the contest deadline.
4. Each poem must be the original work of the person submitting it.
5. Poems must be about or reference at least one of the Munchkin Card games.

The Judges

There are really two contests, the juried version and the people's choice.

The juried contest will be judged by Steve Jackson, Walter Schirmacher, and Erik Zane.

The people's choice will be a popular vote and will open on or about April 1 and close on April 30 (again EST applies).

The Prizes

Winners from both contests will be announced on May 23.

The winner in the juried prize will get a custom card prepared by John Kovalic.

The winner in the people's choice will get a signed card from John Kovalic.

Both winners will, of course, get bragging rights over all other Munchkins they meet (except possibly each other).
