RE: Winners announcement: STACH Short Story Contest #23.

in #contest7 years ago

Hi, judges are humans as you are and what is a good story to them may not be the same to you. On this contest we respect our selected judges decision and will not support your utterances of incompetence on their part.
Bear in mind, everyone is entiltled to their opinions and we have to respect our judges.

Sort:  

@ejemai, with all due respect to the judge, this is not just any random story. There were laid down rules and guidelines and even a theme for the story. The criteria for winning was based on due diligence of these guidelines. But purely from an objective point of view this result was not properly examined. I mean, I don't know why more people are not objecting because it's very obvious to me. But like you said, we all have our own opinions and this is just the opinion of one concerned steemian. I just thought that since this exercise was aimed at sponsoring and encouraging creativity, we would actually pay more attention to actual creativity.

That said, I appreciate the judge's effort. It's not easy "marking that many scripts". Weare all grateful for the steps @stach is taking to "ginger" us in this platform. Bravo!
