(Source)
Thanks so much to all who took part in my Second Campaigner Challenge! We had 192 awesome entries and hundreds of people voting on those they liked the best. The time has come to announce the winners, woot! But before I do, did you read my earlier post about publishing your Challenge stories? If you didn't, make sure you pop over to take a look. Cat Gerlach is compiling your stories (if you want one or more of them published) in an ebook, and all proceeds from the sale will be donated to Harry Moseley's cancer research fund. We'd love you to take part, whether you're a winner of a Challenge or otherwise!

For my Second Challenge, winners were decided on the basis on your votes. I've also awarded 5 random prizes (chosen by Mr. Random.org). Before I reveal the winners, I'd love you all to offer up a huge thanks to the awesome people who've helped me out with the prizes for this round: K.T. Hanna, Rachel McClellan, Jeigh Meredith, Claire Hennessy, and Candy Fite. They did an amazing job administering the prizes and communicating with the prize donors. To say thank you, would you please pop over to their blogs and follow them if you haven't already :)

I also want to give all my thanks to those Campaigners who've generously donated over 130 prizes for my Campaigner Challenges (wow!) All I can say is, you guys rock, seriously!!! Wait until you see the awesome prizes below, and we've still got the Third Challenge prizes to go :D

Yay, congratulations to all the winners.Well-deserved! I read a lot of those stories and they were really good!

Katharina Gerlach said...

Congratulations to the winners. But I'm wondering. I thought there were judges active (???). Two posted to my blog, and I've seen judge-comments on other blogs too. Hmmm. Well, I guess something went awry.

At least the compilation is coming up nicely. So far, I've got nearly 150 stories. Keep them coming there is room for all.

Rachael Harrie said...

Cat, the active judges are for the Third Campaigner Challenge, the one that just ended. The Second Challenge, which this post involves, didn't have judges.

Hugs,

Rach
