    I see why you may want someone to write an article. Natural stone is magnificent and it's not easy to capture all of its fine qualities into words. What I don't see is why you even bothered to repost some of these articles. Particularly, (1) has zero readability or logic. (2) is like fourth grade material in it's dry simplicity. (4) looks like something that was thrown together quickly and without much concern. (5) is only about granite and seems to have just been cut and pasted from somewhere else. That's not what the contest asks for, is it? Some expantion into the qualities of all natural stone and a little flair of interest might help. No one likes to read something where every sentence starts or ends with the same words.
    Article number (3) seems like the best one here so far! If these really are the top contenders, I think number three should win after some slight rewording and a little more information is added. I guess I'm a critique now :) . Good luck, everyone.
    That's my 2cents.

    Thank you. I actually didn't see this coming. I thought the author of #3 would take it. What's going to happen with the contract now, I wonder.

    I don't know, maybe it could be passed onto Author of #3 if you don't want to take it. It depends on the contest holder :0. And #3 was mine ^_^
