Alrighty then! Let's get to it!
I'm hosting a "Round Contest" (if you couldn't already tell... ).
I'm the sole judge of round one, but in other rounds there may be guest judges that will have input on the judging decision.
Contestants moving on after each round will be placed on the "Preliminary Finalists" list.
There will be five rounds:
1* Round one starts with 50 entries, 40 will move on.
2* Round two starts with those 40 contestants, 25 of which will move on.
3* Round three starts with those 25 contestants, 10 of which will move on.
4* Round four starts with the top ten contestants, only 4 move on.
5* The Final Round will contain only those final four contestants.
Contest Rules:
1* Each round is a different challenge and will require a NEW POEM be submitted following the specifications of that round.
2* Be respectful of the judge(s) - including guest judges - and the other contestants.
3* WrItE hOw EVER YOU wanttosinceits meop ruoy (your poem) but if you're dumb and you write in idiotic ways or the font color is unreadable then I won't read or judge it, so you have been told.
4* All forms are acceptable unless the round challenge calls for a specific form.
5* As for spelling, I'm a horrible speller but that doesn't mean you are allowed to be one too. Check your spelling and grammer please. It won't count severely against you but if I see any errors I will notify you and corrections should be made.
6* HAVE FUN! haha...
**Round 1**
The challenge is "Part Poetry" - poetry consiting of destinct parts that both stand alone as individual poems but also work together to develop a common theme or story line.
Round Rules:
1* Poem must contain atleast three parts.
2* Parts must be separate and clearly labelled.
3* All parts must be together on one page (don't write three seperate poems and link them to each other).
(any other notes or rules to be added at my discretion so check back every now and then)
have fun and write some awesome poetry!
NOTE: I will get to your poetry before the contest ends, I promise, but I am in the final few days of high school and I'm working like crazy, too. So, if I do not get to your poem right when you enter it don't freak out and IM me or remove it or anything drastic. I promise to at least read and possibly comment on every poem before the contest closes.
NOTE: Deadline extended!!
NOTE: I'm having minor surgery on thursday so it may take me until friday to start commenting on the rest of the entries, but it IS a two week recovery period so i'm about to have a whole lot of time to judge. I refuse to close the contest w/o 50 entries though so get your friends to enter too! Only 28 entries to go!
Ready, Set, GO!
