To keep this short. It was really difficult to try to decide which 3 texts are the best among 19 written in 3 different languages.
But here they are:
Pofpof – I didn’t hesitate nor give it a second thought. Since I strated reading the first lines, I knew that was it, the best entry!
5esterellas – Nice and well written style!
Maestro Amadeus – A real story mixed with some homur touches.
Congratulations to the 3 of you, and please contact me in private to get your prizes.
My top favorite entries that were competing with 5esterallas and Amadeus:
Marie-aude – for the social issue that her entry is about.
Oussama – The well known Hamida telling one of her adventures.
Tazart – for the intelligent reproduction of the famous traditional tale.
If you were me, which 3 entries would you choose for the total of 19? What do you suggest for the next edition of my competition, knowing that it won’t necessiraly be a writing challenge like this one? One thing is sure, I’ll nominate a volunteering comitee to decide for me! What would you like to have for the prizes?
Finally, I’d like to thank again all participants, and all the blogs that wrote about my competition helping me to promote it.

This is a reminder about SimplyMoroccan’s Competition.
The competition was launched on October 2nd, 2007. The deadline was supposed to be for October 12th, 2007, but since it’s the weekend – moreover it’s Eid – I am extending the deadline to Monday, October 15th, 2007 by midnight.
So far the number of participations is 9, with texts written in 3 languages: Darija, French and English.
There are 3 prizes of 50$ each, and you still can be one of the winners. Do not forget to check the participation details in the competition entry below.
