The Final Judgement: Dan Macsai and Andrew Halberstadt Are Our Last Winners!

Shed a tear: The weekly writing competition is officially over and we have not one, but TWO winners this week. (You’ll remember that the final assignment involved crafting an investigative report on a local business that has been making efforts to go green.) Since we’re naming two winners this week, two editors made the picks:

National Affairs editor Eric Bates picked Dan Macsai, who wrote about Saint Xavier University. Says Eric: “Well written, and it covers all the bases: It has reporting from all the right people, and details about what’s actually been done.”

Executive editor Joe Levy selected Andrew Halberstatdt, who wrote about Flying F Biofuels. Says Joe: “Probably the best written of the whole batch. Solid reporting, a sense of place, and interesting details — having read about bio-diesel several times in the past, I’d never heard that the inventor of the diesel engine wanted to go bio-diesel back in 1892.”

Congratulations boys, you each win a brand new First Act guitar, a Rhapsody Sansa and a spot in our winner’s circle. Stay tuned, because we’ll be selecting a grand prize champion from amongst our weekly winners for a gig writing at RS.com. Isn’t the suspense killing you??

I’m glad this contest is over, now I can delete the RS link from my bookmarks. Later RS! Hope you enjoyed all the extra hits your Web site got over the past 10 weeks.

Well, Jenny, maybe that’s why you don’t get to judge this contest.

What a shame. | 3/29/2007, 2:53 pm EST

Are only winners eligible for the grand prize? Seems is if multiple time finalists (even if they were never a winner — Christina Poole, Timothy Anderl) should be in the running too…

Day Late | 3/29/2007, 2:43 pm EST

Not even a mention of why this wasn’t up on Wednesday when you said it would be? And you called Russell unprofessional…

Women Writers? | 3/29/2007, 2:29 pm EST

Did any women win this contest? If not, WTF Mate? Let’s just go write for Ms. and Venus and be done with RS.

Not that the winners aren’t good, no slight on them, but I mean c’mon.
