We ended up with 31 entries being written for the contest and submitted to Dreemport on the dedicated contest submission date. There were some truly connective pieces this month with some fabulous short stories, poetry, and discursive essays received...
I hope that those who did not make it this time will consider joining in for round 4. 🤗
If any of the old wotw gang have the time and space to drop by, we would love to see you give the next word a whirl. 😊
Entries were then curated by public curators (which includes anyone who chose to log in to Dreemport the following day and do a random curation of 5 posts). These public curation results then provided the dreem-wotw grading teem with a shortlist of the public's favourite entries for the contest, and these were eligible to be graded for official dreem-wotw rankings.
The grading team of 8 graders consists of:
@samsmith1971 @alekst7 @wrestlingdesires @juliamulcahy @iskafan @itsostylish @palomap3 @cescajove (this month @alekst7, @itsostylish, and @wrestlingdesires were unable to grade for personal reasons).
Dreem tokens sponsored by @dreemsteem
Ecency points sponsored by @melinda010100 and @ecency
Scholar and Scribe tokens sponsored by Scholar and Scribe Community and @dibblers.dabs
POB tokens and any other prizes are funded by the rewards generated from the contest posts.
If anyone else would like to provide further sponsorship for the contest, please do contact me.
The dreem-wotw contest encourages the use of the Ecency front end which enables you to earn Ecency points for publishing and engaging whilst using Ecency.
If you are writing short story fiction or poetry, we encourage you to post your piece into the Scholar and Scribe community, which is a wonderful community for creative writing. Please also use the #scholarandscribe tag to ensure that you qualify for curation in the community. Any other types of written content being entered for dreem-wotw may also use the #scholarandscribe tag but should not post directly to the community as they really are all about fiction and poetry. Non-fiction pieces and discursive essays should be posted in appropriate communities.
The final placements with their winning posts were as follows:
Dreem-WOTW winners (non-staff)
1st @taimen with Distant to life
(500 Dreem Tokens, 250 Ecency points, 50 Scholar, 2 Scribe, 50 POB)
2nd @jane1289 with Distance helped me grow
(225 Dreem tokens, 150 Ecency points, 50 Scholar, 50 POB)
3rd @restcity with Wrong Timing
(100 Dreem Tokens, 100 Ecency points, 50 Scholar, 50 POB)
Three entries that did not make the official Dreemport top 5 and were therefore ineligible for official grading, but which impressed the grading teem, deserve a special mention. Each of them will be awarded 2 HBI.
@stuartcturnbull with The Passenger
@atyourservice with Already dreamed
@grindan with The scourge of Gelea lands on distant shores
2nd @amberkashif with Magical Connection
(125 Dreem tokens, 100 Ecency points, 50 Scholar, 50 POB)
3rd @bluefinstudios with Distant
(50 Dreem tokens, 50 Ecency points, 50 Scholar, 50 POB)
And the winners of the 250 Ecency points are:
@princessbusayo and @tengolotodo
All prizes will be transferred this evening 🤗
The contest post for S1 R4 will be out this weekend with the new word prompt and full details on how to enter, giving you about two weeks to write your entry post, with the next Dreemport submission date being Tuesday 25th October between 4 am UTC and midnight UTC❣️ - so mark your diaries!

hehe, that's really ok Sugar... I haven't been in the mood much at all this week for being online... Just had a hectic week off-chain and been feeling quite drained. So, I'm just chillaxing this weekend... may read a few posts... I'll write the new dreem-wotw post and see how I go. It's always ok to take time away or not be as responsive. We all need it. !LUV !LADY
