Last year I ran my first-ever writing contest. I made it simple - a matter of descriptive writing for which I’d offer one prize to a lucky winner determined by … well, LUCK. Instead of judging descriptions as good or bad, I decided to just pick one name at random. I wrote everyone’s name on a slip of paper and chose one winner. Fair enough?

WordCustard is the Squidoo screen name for a woman in Scotland. She’s written about Valentines Day food and lights, snowboarding tips for women, The Alps, in Europe, and many other fascinating topics! WordCustard received the contest prize: $25, sent through PayPal. I intended to give her an Amazon gift certificate instead but found out it is very difficult to purchase one for someone in the UK from my side of the pond, in the USA.

WordCustard’s blog is here: The Custard Bowl.

Thanks to everyone who participated!!
