Thank you to all the sponsors, judges and entrants in the 2006 Green River Writers Writing Contest. The contest was a great success with fine writing representing 28 states and 2 countries. There were nearly 500 entries this year and from those the judges had a tough time picking winners...so many excellent pieces! Thank you to everyone who shared their fine writing with Green River this year and congratulations to all the winners. Keep the muse flowing.
Prize money and certificates will be mailed by the end of December 2006.
