[2021] Deck Poets Society Mistake?

I'm not sure I understand the question here. In case there is confusion from the OP, the Bourgogne submission he posted was not the winning entry. While I applaud everyone's efforts for participating in this contest, and there were a lot of really amazing submissions, we had an internal vote which deemed the winning entries the best for each platform. I believe that we did a great job at selecting the final winners, but we all must understand that something like this is subjective and not everyone will agree.

Please don't be discouraged if you didn't win this time, there will always be another social media giveaway/contest in the future.

Sorry, I don't understand why this is such a concern when the winners have already been chosen for this contest and the entry in question was not chosen as a winner. This was a one-time deal style contest aligned with the Valentine's Day holiday. While there will be other types of contests and giveaways on social media in the future, it's likely they won't be handled in the same fashion because I like to keep things fresh

Now.. to answer the question, we didn't specify any rules preventing players from making a WoWs themed parody of another song, poem, work-of-art etc. So sure, you could even submit "Row, row row, your boat" if you wanted to, but the likelihood of it being selected as a winner would probably be slim-to-none because we choose winners based on originality and creativity.
