Congratulations to all the above and our thanks to everyone who entered. As ever, an anthology containing all the winning entries will be produced in due course. It'll be called Something or the Other and Other Poems, except 'something or the other' will be replaced with proper words, like a title or what have you. It's going to be grand.
Expect an announcement about the Open Short Story competition later in the week, if you think you can take the excitement.
Sam.

Huzzah!
Will there be a judge's report published, as there was for a previous poetry competition? And who was the judge, please?
Hello. The competitions, as is usually the case, was judged by the Leaf Team with the aid of our wider team of readers, all of whom are people with involvement in creative writing themselves. There'll probably be an editor's report at the front of the finished anthology that if we had our wits about us would be just the sort of thing to publish seperately as a blog post for the interest of the general public.
Sam.
