Hair Composition Results

Blog Posted:5/30/2025 8:20:00 AM

 

Results are here for my premiere contest "Hair Composition." As always, I have a smile on my face at the reveal of the poets who won! This was not an easy contest to judge but I did my due diligence based on my tastes and who best thought through the prompt. A couple I really enjoyed but could not in all good conscience place due to spelling errors and a few lines that didn't make sense to me, though I gave it much pondering (to be fair). Thank you so much for your entries. In the past there have been ones that should not have been in this contest, but I applaud that every last one was meant for this. Without further ado, here is the list! Congrats to all the winners!!!!!

Rooted                           Aaliyah O'Neil      1st

Other (Shiny Crown)      Lyric Man             2nd

Sparingly Topped           Terry Flood           3rd

Hair Fight                        Laura Leiser        4th

Final Moments                Sara Jama           5th

Hair Composition             Karen Jones        6th

Pride in Their Hair            Beryl Edmonds    7th

My Hair                             Valsa George      8th

Thank you so much for this incredible honour and for selecting Rooted as the first-place winner in your premiere contest, Hair Composition. This was a truly enriching competition, and I deeply appreciate the thoughtfulness and care you brought to both the prompt and the judging process. I poured a great deal of personal experience and emotion into my piece, so it’s especially meaningful to know that it resonated with you. Congratulations to all the talented poets who placed—each entry brought something powerful and unique to the conversation. I’m genuinely grateful to be part of such a heartfelt and creative showcase.
