This year we had a record-setting number of entries, not just for AMT,
but for
any Toasted Cheese contest ever. In addition, the quality of the
entries made
judging a challenge. So thanks to all who entered; Beaver very much
enjoyed
circumventing the world via your road trip stories! Special mention
goes to
Adrian S. Potter, Jeanette Hurt, Laurie Weed, S.B. Jonassen, & Jon
Kohl, who
also made the judge's short list.
Our youngest entrant this time around was 13. Keep writing, Marissa!
Our farthest-away entrant was one of our third place winners, Fatima
Noronha,
from Goa, India.
Props to Peter Anderson for the best title: "This Guy Probably Wants
Change
for a Confederate Thirteen Dollar Bill." Although, perhaps the real
credit
should go to his dad, Bob. ;-)
You can read the winning stories, as well as excerpts from the
honorable
mentions, in the September issue of Toasted Cheese.
The 2006 A Midsummer Tale Writing Contest opens May 1, 2006. Toasted
