Hello my dear fellow RTHers. 
I have been (ahem) encouraged to expand the Prize component of my Poetry of Images Contest! There are just so many wonderful poems that having just three prizes no longer suffices. I am, therefore, happily caving into pressure, albeit gently and lovingly applied.
I can now announce that in addition to the Grand Prize, the First Runner-Up Prize, and the Second Runner-Up Prize, there will be NINE Honorable Mention Prizes awarded and one Very Special Recognition Award! This latter prize and several of the HM Prizes are the result of more of that incredible generosity that just swells around this Forum. For the time being, the generous donors of several of these prizes will remain un-named.
Once the Contest closes I will announce their names so that you will be able to join me in thanking them for their wonderful show of support for the Poets in this Poetry of Images Contest. 
It isn’t often that a person is thrilled at having to “cave under pressure”. Believe me, this is a grand caving-in!!! ;D
Now, here is what all of you can do with regard to these additional prizes.
Whether you have already sent me a PM or are still working on narrowing down your choices, I can now invite you to select up to THREE more poems in each of the three categories: Grand Prize, First Runner-Up Prize, and Second Runner-Up Prize.
Please indicate, according to the original rules, which poem/Poet is your first choice in each of the categories (GPW, FRU, and SRU) and then add up to three more poems/Poets for each category. These Honorable Mention votes will go into a separate tracking table I will keep and will not count towards the tallies for the primary awards.
The Very Special Recognition Award is being given to one particular Poet by choice of the donor of this prize. No votes are being tallied for this particular prize.
I don’t know if this makes the voting process easier for you. I do know it makes this Contest much more wonderful for me and the Poet contestants! Realizing how much support there is for their creative efforts is an amazing validation!
Thanks a Bunch for all your support!
