In April I hosted a contest called 25 Words or Less. The website stated that the winners would be announced on May 1st. That was incorrect. I am utilizing Strutta’s sweepstakes engine, so it posts a standard announcement since their software offers five different types of contests that can be run. The winners were selected by May 1st, however, each potential winner has 10 days to get the release forms and affidavits back to me. Only then can I announce the official winners.
Thankfully, all the winners got their forms back in a very timely manner. Had the first place winner not sent the forms back, then the second place winner would become the first and the third place would have become the second. That would have continued until I received all the required forms back. Had people not responded, I may not have been able to post the winners until the end of May.
So, without any further adieu, here are the winners:
First Place

We narrowed it down to ten potential winners and then selected, what we felt, were the best two. Here are the other eight finalists, in no particular order:
