A POET AND GAMBLERS PARADISE! (Prewrites allowed)

A POET OR GAMBLERS PARADISE!

To have a chance to enter this ten round contest, write me a poem about what you would do if you won the LOTTO!


The best 20 entries will be allowed to participate in A POET GAMBLERS PARADISE!
So if you do not want to Gamble or participate for ten rounds do not enter this contest OK?



The object of winning this contest is to be allowed to go through the doors of the Poets Casino and start gambling!

It will last, for ten consecutive rounds.

The best 20 entries in this contest will receive 1000 unofficial imaginary points to start them off.

And enable them to compete in the next  10 subsequent contests. That is if their unofficial points awarded lasts them that long?

The lucky 20 will be able to gamble within the 10 rounds useing their unofficial points. On who they think will win that particular contest. They can use them to gamble on who they think will win that particular round. The one who has won the most unofficial points at the end of the ten rounds, will be the overall winner!
Each contestant will be asked to write poetry within each round, on various subjects conceived and thought up. To stretch your poetic abilities, and imaginations!
But there may be a few twists and turns, to make it more interesting along the way.

The point is, that you do not have to be an exceptional Poet to win!

So write me a poem about what you would do if you won the lotto millions and be one of the lucky twenty to go through to the Poet Gamblers Paradise!
Where the first 3 prizes ammount to 3500 points.

 

I reserve the right to lock the casino doors if there are not enough entries!

    a bit confusing but original and intriguing. It sounds fun and i do like the part of betting on the best poem each round since it requires reading ALL entries if one wants to be fair, although 29 pieces is a LOT to read, but i think I'll take the challenge - something different and you've obvuously have put a lot of thought in this, so i think you deserve a good output.

    best luck with it,
    hugz, rachel

    some remarks

    Something just occured to me: Shouldn't you ban the writers to vote for themselves????

    and a remark: Please consider that the pic illustrating your contest is objectisizing women, and some (I for one) find it offending.

    hugz again,
    rachel
