This is the November edition of the Maelstrom News, where we take a look back at what happened at the board in the last month... hard to believe November is upon us and we're approaching the end of the year already! Things have been a bit quiet just lately, so please drop by, say hello, read some words, and share some!
Competition News:
IBPC - The IBPC judges didn't recognize any of the poetry we submitted at the beginning of October, but we're very excited about the next round of submissions. We wish Daniel Barlow, Sandra Erickson, and soulsease the very best of luck in this month's competition.
For all our other contests, the results are as follows:
October Picture Contest winner: heartsong7
September 6 Words Contest winner: soulsease
September 6 Banned Words Contest winner: GaerLlwyd
The new competitions for this month are all up and running, so if you want a chance to win, come and have a look in Maelstrom Eddies! Also, don't forget to vote for the October 6 Words/6 Banned Words contests - voting is open now.
Challenge news: Need to spark your muse? Try a challenge! This month in Eddies, try out the "Quatern" form challenge. In the Illustrators Isle forum, the art challenge theme is Homecoming, so we're hoping for some imaginative entries there.
