Thank you to everyone who took part.
We ended up with 21 entries being written for the contest (22 if we count one that was submitted too late to qualify for ranking or grading) and submitted to Dreemport on the dedicated contest submission date. Some pieces dug deep and scored well with readers and graders alike. Written responses included short stories, poetry, and discursive essays...
We welcome all forms of responses to the prompt and invite you all to take part again next month... and if you missed blank, be sure to jump back in with what is sure to be an interesting word for next month. 🤗 Watch this space for the next contest post which will drop in about 10 days time.
If any of the old wotw gang have the time and space to drop by, we would love to see you give the next word a whirl. 😊
Entries 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 @itsostylish, @cescajove, and @samsmith1971 were unable to grade for personal reasons).
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
300 Ecency points sponsored by @amberkashif (for 4th and 5th place in Public Contest Pool)
250 Ecency points sponsored by @Tengolotodo
POB tokens, additional Ecency points, and any other prizes are funded by the rewards generated from the contest posts.
If anyone else would like to provide further sponsorship for the contest, please do contact me.
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.

In addition to the main contest prizes, there was also a random drawing from amongst all participants in the contest, for 2 x 100 Ecency points, one for non-staff and one for staff.
And the winners of the 100 Ecency points are:
@stuartcturnbull and @amberkashif
Please bear with me - I am still jetlagged but must get some sleep now too... All prizes will be transferred on Wednesday evening 🤗
The contest post for S1 R5 will be out in approximately 10 days' time with the new word prompt and full details on how to enter, giving you about 10 days to write your entry post, with the next Dreemport submission date being Tuesday 22nd November between 4 am UTC and midnight UTC❣️ - so mark your diaries!

Yey! Thank you so much Sam. I really enjoyed the challenge. I thought I would not able to submit on the deadline and what’s funny was my last minute submission to dreemport and had no chance to engage. After rushing to meet the deadline for the write up, I really forgot that I need to submit it to dreemport. Good thing it was 5 minutes before it closed, and I was able to join. Heheh.
You always have a very exciting theme and I so love your brilliant thoughts as always. Sending much love and a big hug. I love you always. Keep safe and have a nice day! @samsmith1971
I am so happy that you are enjoying the contest, my lovely Pinkchic 🤗 I love seeing your posts amongst the entries - you did well this month! Thank you for your continued support... even under pressure hehe !LOLZ !LUV
Thank you so much as always Sam! You know I am forever grateful to you for being the best to me since the first day we met. Thank you so much for all the inspiration and motivation. I am just around and always here to support on every challenge you initiate. Win or lose, what matters to me is the fun! I really enjoyed it so much.
