How is it decided whether a piece gets gold/silver/bronze? Is it based on the number of likes on the work, or...?

I think the organizer of that event judges @RachelLeeAnn
You know that studded leather armour in films? Nobody wore that. I mean, how would metal studs improve leather armour?

I realize that, if my piece does place, I'll get a notification because my name was tagged. But I can't help but checking anyway, just in case...

It's great to see who did win, too. ^_^

Unfortunately, the Olympics ended already, you arrived a bit too late to join this year! They will happen again sooner or later, though, and if you browse other forums you'll find quite a few other awesome contests which are still ongoing, and you can make your own as well ;)

Also, by all means, feel free to use these events' ideas as writing prompts for stories/novels/poems/scripts/whatever c:

Here's to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They're not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them. About the only thing you can't do is ignore them. Because they change things. They push the human race forward. And while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do.
