So.

letters have been sent, apparently - anyone nominated for Young Writer's?

 

[JoelBlogs666]

(I'm using my friends past account) But I received the letter today! does anyone know the minimum mark you needed to get for nomination?

 

[S1M0]

50/50.

In other words, you know you've done very well.

 

[dietjelly]

yeah i got my letter yesterday. so surprising

 

[mad-triste]

What sort of mws do we have? Mine was poetry, and... that just makes it all the more unbelievable.

Anyone know how many people get nominated :: how many get in? Are they sort of ceremonial nominations like visual arts, which gets freaking 600 works or something?

 

[dietjelly]

mine is a short story, ended up representing a number of different concepts

 

[jimmayyy]

my girlfriend got nominated, she did a speech. hurrah!

i think it pretty much goes you need 50/50 to get nominated, but you don't need to get nominated to get 50/50.

 

[nichhhole]

hahha
oh i feel so rejected.
no mail for moi
nevermind.. now my story remains 'unpublished' adni can sell it to some tabloid magazine
ie
Womans day
for a measly $500 in some pathetic little competition about female heroines surpassing patriarchal dominance.
hurrah!
nevertheless, congratulations to all those nominated
!!(L)

[himmy6996]

[Amez...]

I got a nomination! eek so stoked mine was poetry too

 

[MortImmortelle]

congratulations everyone ^^

the work pays of eh

 

[himmy6996]

Read your poetry Amez, thought it was really good. I like when language is used to capture fragments of experience, and you played with words really well, particularly the sentence about "torpid time".

 

[mad-triste]

have u posted urs mad-triste?

Just put it up this instant, sorry, bos wasn't working for me in the last few weeks.

Hope you like it.

ps. Amez, I think your work is brilliant. I'm honoured to have my work considered at the standard of yours. I'm so impressed and ... slightly belittled.

 

[himmy6996]

how did you guys go for internal in ex 2?

 

[mad-triste]

I came third, behind another poet. I did sort of okay - got 17/20 for the proposal and the interview, and 19/20 for the report/final draft.

So not fantastically. Actually, I did better overall in ex1.

 

[bowloforanges]

I got nominated too does anyone know if they've announced who got in yet?

 

[mad-triste]

What medium was your work, bowloforanges?

(ps. I think we get told in March.)

 

[himmy6996]
