40 points possible for story quality; the ability to make us cry, sigh, or wet ourselves from laughing too hard.
20 total points for mechanics; 5 spelling, 5 grammar; 5 punctuation; 5 for using a word that makes us go scrambling for the dictionary (must use the word correctly to collect these five points).
First Place: Six Panickles, the winner's plaque, and a staring role in Season Three, Survivor: India.

Third Place: One Panickle and a plaque.
Additional prizes and commemorative plaques will be awarded.
