Mini 2-Day Contest Winners!

Congratulations to the winners of our two 2025 Mini Contests! Justine Berezintsev won our first contest with her poem “Faultline,” which used the words “crepuscular,” “mnemonic,” and “coifs,” and Ross McKie took the prize for our second contest, using “garrulous,” “trellis,” and “cauterize” in his poem “On Speaking for the Picture of my Aunt Wearing Boxing Gloves Next to a Tree That No Longer Stands.”

Thanks to everyone who played our mini contests! We had so much fun choosing words from 2-Day Contests past. (We went way back to the mid-aughts this time!) We hope you enjoyed getting creative with them. Don’t forget to register by April 17th for the full 2-Day Poem Contest, taking place from Friday, April 25th to Sunday, April 27th!
