Semi-finalist is nice, but doesn't count for much in writing competitions. But over here and in other countries writers can get a lot more mileage out of short lists and even some very lengthy long lists. That's not a bad thing! It brings recognition to a lot more writers, especially those who otherwise would not get any until maybe later in their career (which was why I posed the above question, not as a judge - even though I'm curious who wrote them -but on behalf of those long-listed writers (so they can get some well deserved recognition for their efforts).<br /><br />Wish they'd use those terms in the US, too. I was an 'almost finalist' in a major contest last year, but it seems to lack the same marketing clout as 'long listed' and 'short listed'.Borneo Expat Writerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15657806224924444058noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7912730.post-68252337945788016642009-07-15T16:40:26.592+08:002009-07-15T16:40:26.592+08:00This comment has been removed by the author.Borneo Expat Writerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15657806224924444058noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7912730.post-27885728232259973372009-07-15T15:39:16.428+08:002009-07-15T15:39:16.428+08:00Raymer, please do all your enquiries on the judgin...Raymer, please do all your enquiries on the judging process privately (you understand the concept of 'email'?) and not blab all over the blogs.
