THE 10 WINNERS OF THE DJIS UN PENSAMENTU 10th ANNIVERSARY POETRY CONTEST
THE 10 WINNERS OF THE DJIS UN PENSAMENTU 10TH ANNIVERSARY POETRY CONTEST.
Hello there thinkerthoughters,
After a few days of thinking, deliberating, biting our lips, and scratching our heads, we finally have the 10 winners of our Poetry Contest.
It was not easy. But we finally have them.
These are the criteria that we have taken into account to find our 10 winners:
• Use of words/phrases
• Creativity
• Originality
• Expression of pure feelings (sincerity in words)
• A touch of humor
• Food for thought
This last criterion was key. We are a site that aims to stimulate all kinds of thoughts.
So it was very important to us that the poem could stimulate “Food for Thought”.
(What is the feeling/thought/state of mind that the poem leaves you with?)
And yes ... TA RA TA TAAAA !!!!!
We've got them!
Here they are:
Sixta de Aquino
Ena Neslo-Goede
Nihaila Kwidama
Frida Frans
J. Caroline van Nierop-van Leeuwen
Dainha Daal
Erika De Stercke
Nataly Burgzorg
Saiveca Conradus
Annette Akkerman
