Or I've lost mine. . .I meant the comp ends at 12:01 AM May 1st—your time zone. I've been so busy it doesn't matter. I have your avatars; I meant don't worry about dolling up, etc. because I'll be using your Team NaPo ones for the banner!![](/images/forum/smilies/nonsense.gif)

No; it's probably me thinking one thing and saying another. Below are examples of the NaPo banners; this is the first year we had team avatars, so this one will look awesome!

I did not see an acknowledgment. Was there a problem with my last entry?

All the entries have been double-checked for compliance and we are happy to announce that you all made it! Congratulations! Webmiss will be provided a list of names who completed the challenge successfully, and you should be seeing your 'Trophy' awarded soon.
I have completed the cadet's poetry feature and will move onto the returnees this weekend, so watch for those in your email.
Words come hard at times like this; yesterday was your moment to collapse—today is ours. And while we've heard your stories, praise, compliments and so forth, we want you to know that it was YOU who kept US going. It's difficult to express, but to see such a dedicated group of poets in love with poetry is inspiring. So everyday, as we read your struggles to post that day, or heartache, loveache, happiness, the fire in your world, the drought, the flood, it became a testament in our own individual world and Team NaPo's.
How can YOU stop, when so many are not despite what may be going on in their life.
So thank you for your dedication to poetry, your commitment to this challenge, your faith in us, but, most importantly, your belief in yourself. Because that's what it all comes down to: I can do this!
And you did. Beautifully.
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for flying Air NaPo 2020 this year; we hope to see you all, and those who were too nervous or busy this year, in 2021!
