Feedback for all is down below. 

Dark Country by SarahSchott

Very interesting storyline. There were only a few issues here and there, nothing major. Creative use of imagery and language devices 10/10 this was incredible, I'm blown away. The way the foot and the glass cutting scene, I got shivers...45/50

Upside Down 

By Lastredhowswami

 Linear plot – easy to follow, well thought out. This story seems pretty unique, especially as it is an lgbt themed story not about discovering sexuality or gender, more of accepting it. There were a few cliches, but I feel they were handled well.  cute jokes and things that bring the characters to life Link between story and chosen song? The songs sad nature and the pulsing forward really fit with this story. Some hard to follow sentence structures. enjoyed stream of consciousness text scene. Fantastic metaphor and simile use. Spelling/grammar 7/10 -1 for hard to follow sentence structures -2 for grammatical and spelling errors. overall 45/50

When We fall Apart

.Yes it makes sense, could explain more of accident; had to read it twice to understand. Yes it is a unique idea, especially with the flashback. Topic breakaway: to be tired of life/life is falling apart | atmosphere. Do you enjoy reading the writing? Yes, well done with italicized passages, had to read twice to get full sense. creative with imagery? Yes descriptive, creates mood. Grammatical errors? No, only some uncertainties with punctuation marks (especially in situations with " ").It's simply a good story.  - 43/50 byMarco_is_to_Blame

Sight

yes, the story makes sense

unique idea? It's not a unique idea (fanfictions are often written like this) but it keeps me captivated..Definitely can tell the link between chosen song and story. The story kind of tells the story behind this song, so the link is given very well..Is the writing fun to read? Absolutely. It was very relaxing and lovely. .Is the writing creative? yes, but rarely. grammatical errors? None, there is once a mixture with the tenses, but overall it's very good.. I enjoyed the reading because the story plot is just beautiful.  - 43/50 by PurpleMistArmy

Esoteric

The poems all have a subject which is used well. Each poem has a unique message. Yes it is a unique idea, to write such a collection of poems is awesome.Can you tell the link between their story and chosen song? No. So there are no points here.Did you enjoy reading the writing? I absolutely did. The author is a huge talent. Is it creative with imagery, language devices and so on? Absolutely, would recommend to other poem awards. The author is very talented with words. No spelling or grammatical errors noticed. Overall rating 40/50

My rebel Angel

Yes, the story makes sense, the first five chapters are very interesting. It definitely is a unique idea, with him as angel who lives on earth. It's difficult to say more, because I didn't read more. (Can you tell the link between their story and chosen song?) I didn't get which song was chosen. In some chapters, there is a song linked. Those are good connected with the song, but there is not only one song. In my opinion, this wasn't exact the idea of this award. Did you enjoy reading the writing? Yeah, absolutely. Would have loved to read more, but to judge, I had not enough time. Is it creative with imagery, language devices and so on? it is. There are some language devices and imagery is used too.  It's a good story, but it doesn't fit with the idea of this award.- 41/50 by FParungao
