Drumroll! <\/p>\n
And the winners of the Giant Monstrous Limerick Contest are:<\/p>\n
Jess Nevins<\/b> and Sean Williams<\/b>.<\/p>\n
Congratulations, guys.<\/p>\n
Here is the Judge’s Report<\/b> by Cat Sparks:<\/p>\n “I despise limericks and all forms of rhythmic word association, but even I have to admit there are some crackers in this bunch. Jess Nevins wins for being so downright original. Sean Williams comes a close second for his creative abuse of the English language. Runners up: Both pieces from Martin Livings were clever, but the Biolante one made me laugh (I have always had a bit of a thing for Biolante so maybe a bit of daikaiju bias crept in there). Mark Rainey’s smushed added a hint of hillbilly vibe to the proceedings, and as for Lee Battersby’s tale of bulknitudinous excretia\u2026 ew gross!<\/p>\n All the shortlisted entries were good though, so congratulations champs!”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n I have decided to award two Special Prizes as well. The winners don’t get a copy of Daikaiju! 3<\/i>, but I do have a selection of other goodies they can choose from.<\/p>\n Special Prizes<\/b>:<\/p>\n Nigel Stones<\/b>, for his multi-versed limerick sequence featuring the rarely recognised Talos;<\/p>\n and<\/p>\n Jason Fischer<\/b>, for contributing more daikaiju limericks than anyone else except Nigel.<\/p>\n Can all winners please email me at [robert_hood@uow.edu.au] so I can get your preferences, addresses, etc.?<\/p>\n And thanks everyone else for your wonderful participation. As soon as I get time, I will be putting the limericks up on my website as a special feature!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Drumroll!
