The contest was to provide a tweet-length (140 characters) commentary about my painting Darwin Took Steps - humour, poetry, insight all acceptable. Winner gets a signed print. It's science-history-surreal-portrait-art, it can be fun.
Here are all the entries. Brilliant stuff.

And he's building a stairway to heaven.
When he gets there, he's humble even though he likes scumble
With a word he built it on Darwin's head.

"The Theory of Evolution isn't just a step up from Special Creation. It's the whole flight." Lou FCD
"I think... I may have to see a doctor." - Mo Hassan
