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

Curly Top I Am Anaya 9th

Your Hair Becomes You John Anderson 10th

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.
