OK, so pretty much this is mah 6th contest. Too much fun. This is going to be ANOTHER options contest. Pretty sweet. I'm sorry, but we will HAVE to go over the rules.
*UPDATE*
The closing date is extended for another couple days, so hurry and enter!!
*Rules*
(some of them are kinda sucky, but I'm sorry)
1. No family may enter (makes me VERY bias)
2. If you have 15 or more trophies, you are not allowed to enter. Now, the reason for this is because usually they are outstanding poets, and they of course, have the best chance winning. So, sorry, but check back for my next contest if this one interests you and you have 15+
3. No erotica, suicide, cutting...
4. Make sure you place your poem under the correct categories!
5. Spell check everything
6. If you chose option #6, please put the word I gave you in your author comments!
7. Whatever option you chose, make sure to put the number in your author comments
8. Now, this isn't mandatory, but please, chose a background for your poem! Its painfully boring to see the same blue background over and over again
9. You may enter as many poems as your little hearts desire!
10. Check back for updates, as I seem to have many!
~*~*~JUDGING~*~*
The judging in this contest will be a little different. Becuase I have many options, I will judge not only the whole contest, but also the sub-catagories. Understand? For example, you may get 1st place in your catagory, but not 1st place in the contest. Points WILL be awarded both to the winners of the catagory and the whole contest. If you have any questions, feel free to ask! ~*~*~*~*~*
*Options*
1. Write about 1 or more of the seven deadly sins (pride, envy, anger, lust, greed, gluttony, sloth)
2. Write about pirates
3. Use the I Am format and write me anything. Remember to think outside the box. Really use your imagination on this one. If you don't know what the I Am format is, look below.
*I am
I wonder
I hear
I see
I want
I am (1st line repeated)
I pretend
I feel
I touch
I worry
I cry
I am (1st line repeated)
I understand
I say
I dream
I try
I hope
I am (1st line repeated)*
4. Use one of the following titles (must be title of your poem)
Arcade Serenade
Mechanical Man
Walk Away
Saving Me
TNT
Wild World
Welcome to the Jungle
Good Riddance
Miss Murder
Look at me, I'm a winner!
Adam's Song
Hold On
Little Things
Too Much, Too Soon
(any Green Day title or Good Charlotte title is welcomed)
5. Give me a tribute poem to Billie Joe Armstrong
6. (please make sure you read rule 6) Send me a message asking for a word, I will give you one, and you make that word the central theme of your poem. You do NOT actually have to use the word, you can make the definition the theme. (If you do not know what the word means, open a flipping dictionary). If you don't think you could, in a million, zillion years use the word I give you, you have 1 more chance to ask. I will give you a new one, and you may chose between the 2 which you want to use. Fair? I think so.
