You ignored the prompt to go with your shock value and the other entrants were superior. Simple as that.

Billy_Russo handed Ronnie a briefcase and shook his hand, Ronnie smiled from ear to ear “Thank you sir! It was a pleasure to have participated in this event, I shall spend the winnings wisely, on prostitutes and booze!” Ronnie said laughing and turning to the crowd that had gathered to marvel at his presence. He takes a bow and stands with the other winners. 

Billy_Russo - let me know what your judging systems were? 

write about a contract that you took on, whether you failed or succeeded

You didn’t follow the simple instruction. Everyone else did. This conversation is over, I’m done with dealing with you.

Billy_Russo - you owe me money.  

Why exactly do I owe you money? Because you’re throwing a hissy fit because you didn’t follow the prompt and what you wrote wasn’t all that good?

Billy_Russo - it's all good.  It's been sorted

Kisses Billy on both cheeks

If by sorted you mean that you understand that you didn’t place and don’t deserve any money, then yes, it’s been sorted.

Billy_Russo - that isn't my understanding, but I forgive you

That doesn’t surprise me at all. You have a problem understanding things that don’t revolve around you. As soon as I started the competition I knew that you were going to do what you always do. Make everything all about you instead of the talented writers who actually followed the instructions and did a wonderful job. 

Theres that center of attention need that you have again.
