Topic: Forums and Blogs, Writing Projects

How-To Group Writing Project

I was going to announce the winners tomorrow, but I realized that tomorrow is Bloggers Against Abuse day, so I tallied up the votes last night. But first I must make you wait a few seconds to just say, thank you! Thanks to all the participants and bloggers who have helped support my group writing project. It has been a great success and I hope to hold another group writing project again in the future. So without making you wait any longer and without assuming you haven’t skipped this to browse the winners already, here are the winners of BlueJar.com first group writing project:

First Place Winner: $100 + 125×125 Banner Advertising Spot

Not only is Rhys on vacation, he wins the top prize! If he is having a bad time, this will surely cheer him up.
