Thank you to everyone who took part.
We ended up with 21 entries being written for the contest and 20 submitted to Dreemport.
Note to writers - please don't forget to submit your post to Dreemport on the contest submission date. If it's not in Dreemport, it can't be counted.
There were some fantastic responses to the triple prompt challenge and overall a good effort was made by those who took part! Some pieces were rather thought-provoking, whilst others were light-hearted and humorous. Whatever your choice of response, we enjoyed reading them all 🙌💗
We welcome all forms of responses to the prompt and invite you all to take part again next month... and if you missed Season 1, be sure to join us for the start of Season 2 - January submission date still to be confirmed - contest post will be out mid-January!
If any of the old wotw gang have the time and space to drop by, we would love to see you give the next round a whirl.
Entries for the Season 1 finale were curated by public curators in Dreemport (which includes anyone who chose to log in to Dreemport the following day and do a random curation of 5 posts). These public curation results then provided the dreem-wotw grading teem with a shortlist of the public's favourite entries for the contest, and these were eligible to be graded for official dreem-wotw rankings.
The grading team of 8 graders consists of:
@samsmith1971 @alekst7 @wrestlingdesires @juliamulcahy @iskafan @itsostylish @palomap3 @cescajove
This month the grading was performed by @cescajove @palomap3 and @samsmith1971 ).
Prizes kindly and generously sponsored as follows:
1250 Dreem tokens sponsored by @dreemsteem
800 Ecency points sponsored by @melinda010100 and @ecency
300 Scholar and 4 Scribe tokens sponsored by Scholar and Scribe Community and @dibblers.dabs
600 Ecency points sponsored by @amberkashif (for 4th and 5th place in both Contest Pools)

The dreem-wotw contest encourages the use of the Ecency front end which enables you to earn Ecency points for publishing and engaging whilst using Ecency.
If you are writing short story fiction or poetry, we encourage you to post your piece in the Scholar and Scribe community, which is a wonderful community for creative writing. Please also use the #scholarandscribe tag to ensure that you qualify for curation in the community. Any other types of written content being entered for dreem-wotw may also use the #scholarandscribe tag but should not post directly to the community as they really are all about fiction and poetry. Non-fiction pieces and discursive essays should be posted in appropriate communities.
