Because of this poem.

I entered my poem in a contest, and got the Editor's Choice Award. According to the email I received from the organization, only 12% of the thousands of entries received were given this award. I wasn't planning on winning, so you can imagine my surprise when I check my email and found out what had happened. I would like to thank everyone who supported me in my writing. I would especially like to thank Wassano for providing me with the contest link.

Sadly, I can't afford to buy the plaque, but this is still a huge accomplishment for me. And Zerok approved this thread, so don't just say "This goes in your userpage." I might be entered in the semi-finals, and be given a chance to win 1000 dollars. Just thought I'd share with you guys.

I've won something like that as well. The trophy thing was like, 300 bucks so I didn't buy it. But it said that I and like, 100 other people were chosen but I knew it was a lie.

There was some convention in Vegas where you could've won 10,000 dollars but I didn't go.

Poetry competitions are dead to me.

Gerard: Fuck off, its meese.

My little brother (now 24) used to get letters like this in the mail starting when he was about 5 years old. They claimed his teacher entered his writing in a contest and he had won. These scams have been around forever. They tell you that you've won something and then you pay to have your work published or to buy the award that you "won."

I smell a scam
