We are pleased to announce TCE winners for 2016.

Will writes about the caring and concern
A man shows for strangers and the
Beauty of a miracle that will leave you breathless.

Poem ‘Where Bellbirds Sing’.
Tony has a way with words and phrases
That will pull you right into the vivid
Imagery and peace of a forest.

Thank you Phyllis, so nicely said. We have a great community and it is a privilege to see it prosper and grow.
You are most welcome, Tony. Yes, it is great to see our community prosper and grow. Thank you for being a part of it, dear poet.
My heartiest congratulations to both Tony and Will as well deserving winners in our first contest. It was so hard to choose from all the great writing on this site, so having your poem or story chosen is a big deal. Hopefully these contests can become a regular event and more people vote in the future.
A big thanks also to you Phyllis for organising this competition and arranging the prizes. Much appreciated.
Such a very nice comment, John. Thank you so much.
Thank you, Lovely Lady for the poetic compliment!
You are most welcome, Dear Sir.
