Thank you to everyone who took part.
First off, I want to apologise for the lateness of this post. I wasn't well for a few days towards the end of last week so the post was slightly delayed, but I do appreciate your patience. Thank you all...
We ended up with 16 entries being written for the contest and submitted to Dreemport on the dedicated contest submission date. There was a mix of fiction, creative non-fiction, introspective pieces, and Three Tune Tuesday posts. 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 illusion, be sure to jump back in with what is being teed up to be an interesting and fun challenge for December to close off season 1. 🤗 Watch this space for the next contest post which will drop next weekend.
And remember, if you are taking part in the Dreemport Dreemer of the Year contest, you will want to make sure that you enter dreem-wotw and get those dreemie points to climb up the leaderboard 😜
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.
December's contest is going to be a cracker of a prompt(s) just in time for Christmas hahaha😊 Did I just drop a clue? ... and no the prompt is not cracker or Christmas hahaha... AND ... we have some extra sponsorship for December's bumper contest from @penderis - so look out for that boost in the prizes and bring your A game hehe...
Entries for illusion 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, @alekst7, and @wrestlingdesires 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
600 Ecency points sponsored by @amberkashif (for 4th and 5th place in both Contest Pools)
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.
The final placements with their winning posts were as follows:
Dreem-WOTW winners (Public)
1st @mmykel with The Illusion of Fear and Perfection
(500 Dreem Tokens, 250 Ecency points, 50 Scholar, 2 Scribe, 50 POB)
2nd @atyourservice with Blink and You'll Miss It

3rd @ahmadmanga with Boring Men Only Write Boring R_

4th and 5th place go to pinkchic and balikis95 who each receive 150 Ecency points kindly sponsored by amberkashif.
Dreem-WOTW - winners (staff)

4th place goes to bluefinstudios who receives 150 Ecency points kindly sponsored by amberkashif.
Below is the consolidated grading form. It can be used to see where scores might be improved in future rounds.
And the winners of the 100 Ecency points are:
@dwixer and @amberkashif
The contest post for S1 R6 will be out next weekend with the new word prompt(s) and full details on how to enter, giving you just over a week to write your entry post, with the next Dreemport submission date being Tuesday 20th December between 4 am UTC and midnight UTC❣️ - so mark your diaries!
