Voices in Minor (ViM) hosted a prompt/unOfficial challenge called Wooden for January. It was our first prompt for the year, and we had a great turnout.

Judging for the contest went smoothly. There were five judges for the challenge:

With ten entries, we used the 1-5 grading scale on each poem submitted. It was a hard decision with so many excellent submissions.
