Winners of the Writing Spirit Award 2010 announced

For those named on the final shortlist, the waiting is finally over:  the results of the Writing Spirit Award 2010 are here. 

The lucky (though, of course, hugely talented) first-place winners take away €1000 each, with the runners-up picking up €200, and the third place entrants winning €100.  As well as this, all of the work that made it into the top three will be published in our annual anthology, Writing4all: Best of 2010, along with all the monthly winners from the Writing4all site.
