We now have a winner of the People’s Choice Award for the 2007 Canada Writes online challenge…

Congratulations to Mike Thom of Otterburne, Manitoba!

Read his winning entry “Winter Walk to School” in the Humour category.

Thanks to everyone who participated in the online challenge this year!

** You can view other online submissions (“View and Rate”) and even revisit the qualifying entries written by finalists and semi-finalists of the radio version of Canada Writes (“On Air Finalists”).

The ratings period is now over, but you can still read online submissions.

Each star below takes you through the three days of Canada Writes, one new challenge—and one new category—per day.

The challenge for Day One was a comedy monologue about childhood or family.

The challenge for Day Two was a rewrite of the lyrics for the song “You Make Me Feel (Like a Natural Woman).” Players had one hour to complete both challenges.

The challenge for Day Three was to write a slogan for a new diet product – in one minute!

Canada Writes, the radio game show hosted by Jian Ghomeshi, is now over. But the excitement lives on – online!

Comedian Elvira Kurt, advertising guru Terry O’Reilly and singer-songwriter Dione Taylor offer insights – and rapid-fire laughs.
