Huge congratulations @nobyeni for being crowned as the winner of the Audio/Video Category. I am definitely not brave enough to put myself on the line and submit an entry into that category. Extra points for courage alone!
Also, big congratulations to @jasonshick and @amirtheawesome1 for taking out the runners up prizes with two wonderful entries in the two different categories. More importantly, well done to all the participants involved, for the great effort they put into creating and submitting fierce and competitive entries. They were all uniquely great and varied in their own way, which I immensely enjoyed listening to and reading over the last few days. Of course a big thanks to the sponsors and specifically the two judges (I LOVE YOU BOTH FOR OBVIOUS REASONS). It's an absolute honour and an amazing feeling to produce an entry that was appreciated and deemed a worthy winner by the two judges of the contest. Just realised that I didn't even give my entry a title lol.
This was a huge big deal, as I have never laid pen to paper before, to write a single line for a song or rhyme. This came a lot more naturally to me than I thought it would because of all the wonderful journalists in the alternative media, who make this information available to the general public, to keep us informed on such important political and societal issues. I can say that it has sparked a creative flair that I may explore a little more in the near future...Watch out!
A MASSIVE thank you to all the wonderful people who came to read my entry and show wonderful support and words of encouragement. Some of which I have only met and conversed with recently. I am so damn happy, I cant even bust into a rhyme at the moment, so everyone please help out in the comments section with a few lines we can all enjoy:)
Last but not least of course, this entire contest was dedicated to all the people in Syria, who have had to endure the brutal conditions and the pain and suffering created over the last 7 years in the so-called civil war, mostly due to the propaganda machine which enables this to continue.
PEACE
And congrats to you as well!
If this is really your first time putting together some rhymes this is incredible!
You know, I can totally understand how with the right prompt, on a subject you're well versed in, the rhymes can almost write themselves. I love getting in that flow because sometimes writing can be a chore.
Anyways, super stoked you put the time and effort to make this come to life. Congratulations once again!
Thanks and yeah, as you said it's really because of the subject matter itself...almost 10 years of 'alternative facts' is plenty of ammunition! I'm really looking forward to the next one. Sorry for the slightly drawn out acceptance speech, but the excitement got the better of me. I feel a little more relaxed now, after visiting my favourite Monday post and ritual, that of @perceptualflaws (gotta get the plug in).
congrats palikari123 !!!!!!!
Thanks dude, congratulations to you as well
