Did ever dreamed to be a published writer/poet but never have the means to do so? Well this is the contest for you!!
Soon I will be publishing my fifth ebook entitled, 'A Collection of Voice' which will have/hold the collection of poems from different people. Keep in mind that if you're chosen, that I will be sending you an IM asking you for these requirements:
Real name
City, State, and/or Country you're from
Theme I'm only asking for:
Contemporary>> show me wisdom, deepness, and elegance
RULE(yes follow them)
-Prewrites welcomed ONLY IF THEY WERE WRITTEN IN FEBRUARY 2006 but I prefer fresh writes more
-Punctuation, grammar, spell check is key
-NO sticky caps, dark writes/suicide, erotica(since this is public viewing) or chat lingo/slang
-1 Shot only
-STEER AWAY FROM FORCED RHYMING & CLICHES
-Any style/form you want is of your own choosing
-Background and font need to be readable or I won't read it at all
-no swearing
Points:
1st place: 450 in addition to having 4 poems of theirs into the book
2nd place: will have 3 poems in the book
3rd place: will have 2 other poem in the book
HMs: shall have the option to have 1 other poem placed into the book IF they want to use it as a replacement poem
Know right now that I will comment with full honesty and allow you to correct any minors for your entry AND if you can't handle that then this is not the contest for you. As a part of the Legitimate Contest holders group. my judging is fair and honest
Good luck
Rae
UPDATE: I WILL NO LONGER ACCEPT PREWRITES DUE TO THE FACT THERE ARE TOO MANY AND THAT I ONLY HAVE A DESIRE FOR FRESH WRITES ONLY. KNOW ALSO THAT THERE WILL BE A 'WEEDING OUT' OF POEMS IF THEY AREN'T UP TO PAR. SORRY FOLKS BUT NO MORE PITY POETRY EITHER....
One more thing: I will have spies looking out so be careful
UPDATE #2: Contest will end after fifty entries so hurry if you want a spot in the contest

Do you mean February and onwards or just February? If its just February, is there something special about February? (sorry for being nosy, I am simply intrigued by this.) Anyhow, good luck and keep writing...
~^~Tiya~^~
-
From only the month of february up to now. In other words, from February 1st on up to now

Hi my friend, very nice idea for a comp don't envy you judging , no doubt there will be a lot of entries,will see what I can come up with, all the best with your comp,a big hug Di

Hmm, I've tried contests like these before
though I know I'll never be good enough for publication, I still am curious how far I get in there not that far in fact 
I'll see what I can do
-
thank you so much... i changed it
-
What do you mean about not having the "means" to be a published poet? There are hundreds of editors out there - I am one myself - who are hungry for poems to publish! Sometimes, if one is lucky, they will pay one for them - but at the very least, they will bear the costs of publishing and provide you with the complimentary copy that is the author's "customary entitlement".
-
For starters what i mean by what i said is simply for those who dont know where to go just to show off their talents so if you feel offended then ...yeah okay
-
what a wonderful idea. thank you for hosting this contest. i have entered it.
-

-
