ViM's May Prompt - Commencement Speech - is over, and the voting is complete. We had an amazing turnout for the challenge, with many wonderful entries. We even had to call in a tie-breaker for the first time, which was a pleasant surprise. Now, I am here to announce the winners to everyone, so that you all may enjoy these speeches as much as we did.

If you're interested in learning more about the challenge, you can read more about it at the link below, ⤵ ⤵ ⤵

Our wonderful judges for this round, including myself:

  1. Judey
  2. Celia
  3. L.K.
  4. River Joy - they consented to be our awesome tie-breaker on such short notice. They deserve all our love.

I couldn't ask for a finer batch of judges, or friends for that matter. I could go on all day singing their praises, but I won't. This article isn't about them.

🏆

So, with no further adieu, I'll announce the winners!

First Place

Tim T. Carmichael

Second Place

Alexandria Stanwyck

Third Place

Diane Foster

Below ⤵ ⤵ ⤵, listed in no particular order, are the other entries for ViM's May Prompt. I'd appreciate it if you could stop by and visit each one, letting them all know how good their entries are. They all made it so hard to choose, so they're all winners in my book.

  2. What is Success?
  3. Commencement Speech
  4. Let's Commence
