I want to congratulate all of the winners, runners up, honorable mentions, and entrants. I think this contest is an awesome beginning of something great in the Christian writing community. I did not get to enter this year but look forward to participating in future years. We need strong writers who are Christian, and this contest will encourage Christians to write and writers to not be afraid to have faith.
Thanks, ACM, for coming up with the great idea of a Christian writing contest, and for putting in the work to make it happen. And thanks to all the great writers who entered. I’m enjoying going through the winners’ entries right now — good job, everyone!
Thanks to everyone who entered! You all did a really great job, and I’m loving reading all of the stories! (I don’t have Facebook, so this is the only way I can congratulate all of you.) Keep up the good work! Also, a huge thank you to ACM for hosting this contest; it has been so much fun to participate in!
