At final count, we had over seventy entries and the standard was frankly dismayingly high. In the end we decided that choosing only two was impossible, so we decided to select four excellent bloggers who will each blog once a month for the Meanland project for the rest of this year. The winning essay-posts will be cross-posted on Spike, Overland and, of course, Meanland over the coming fortnight, so keep an eye out. And without further ado, here are the winners: Catherine Moffat John Weldon Diane Simonelli Ali Alizadeh Congratulations to the winners, and a warm and very grateful thank you to the many entrants. Yours, Zora Sanders, Meanjin, and Jacinda Woodhead, Overland.
