Our 3rd Annual Stellar Literary Festival, 2 day event, was a successful event. The caliber of the poetry contest this year was amazing. Here is the comment from the judge: 
               “ This was a sweat-fest for this judge. Almost every entry had something brilliant in its centre – a surprising turn of phrase, an effective use of form, vivid and rich imagery – it made the task of assessing each poem difficult and exciting.

              The finalists, including the Honourable Mentions, deserve sustained applause to have risen from such a strong group of entries and stand out for recognition. And the top three caused the judge considerable angst and repeated readings to arrive at the final tally. Bravo to one and
all! “   Ruth E. Walker
