Congratulations To EVERYONE Who Entered!
If your
entry was not recognized this time, please don't give up! Writing humor is a
specialized craft, and
it takes time and effort to master any craft.
- Some entries were
well-written, but needed more work setting up
the humor and punching
up the punch lines. Try structuring your work with distinct set-ups and
punch lines throughout the piece.
- Other
entries had plenty of punch, but relied on coarseness or
vulgarity, which limited their potential readership. Try writing
as if your piece were for a daily newspaper to achieve the most
universal appeal.
However,
just by
entering you made a great effort and we commend you for it! (You
already did better than those who just thought about entering,
but didn't even try!)
We hope you will try again and look forward to
seeing more of
your work!
Enter
Today!
