Closing competition winners

We pick our favourite out of all of your entries.

 
We ran a competition through December and January, asking for photos or
original writing around the topic 'What does The End mean to you?' We
had hundreds of great entries, and have had a lot of fun (and some
moving movments) looking through them all. But there could only be two
winners, and they are below...

Katrina Sluis

turn off new oxford
lights blast the end across bricks
humans snake around

glowing with lager
a vocal cacophony
this queue is alive

decloaked and relieved
logistics long forgotten
anticipation

descending the stairs
nervousness and the unknown
intoxicating

regrouping inside
congratulating ourselves
the first round appears

retreat to the floor
a seductive maze of faces
bust it big time now

bass throbs across bodies
lights and colour punctuate
darkness sweat and steam

feeling elated
this floor under this city
suddenly my world

drawn to the DJ
uncontrollable smiling
we dance side by side

like moths to a flame
beacon of cooling water
I pause to reflect

refill my bottle
a glimpse of  the other side
become a voyeur

adventures entice
an ascent to AKA
random chats abound

bopping as I sit
exhaustion and elation
have we met before?

pushing back the crowd
we defy the final tune
dance on in the light

escape into air
one hundred cabbies greet us
surreal sunrise

back seat gossiping
reconstruct the night once more
denying the end

Zoe Savitz

We were sent lots of shots from the dancefloor, but this one made everyone smile, and got us in the mood for Saturday's afterparty...
