Alrighty, with this contest, as the title says, almost anything goes.
I only have one rule that I want to be obeyed:
1) Please just make sure that the writing can be read easily, and that nothing is too confusing.
**Erotica, cussing, and anything else that you can think of except for the above is allowed to be entered.
---------------------------------------------------------
JUDGING
Here's how I'm going to judge this contest:
Basically, I'm just going to judge your piece on how well I actually like it.
---------------------------------------------------------
***SUGGESTIONS***
Knowing what I like and entering a poem using that knowledge will most likely increase your chances of winning, so I have provided the following ways that you can find out what I enjoy/like:
You can view my favorites to see whose poetry I enjoyed reading...
OR you can view my comments to see what poems I have given the best scores/comments to...
OR you can message me with a specific question(s) as to what I like...
OR you can view my past contests and see what poems won...
OR you can just take a chance and enter whatever you like...
OR you can view the following links:
CrimsonPages
Bloodletter68
Bloodletter23
You don't have to take any of my suggestions, but just so you know, I have provided them for YOUR benefit.
--------------------------------------------------------
TIME WHEN CONTEST CLOSES
***UPDATE!!! THIS CONTEST WILL BE JUDGED ON JANUARY 30, 2008!!! IT WILL NOT BE DELAYED FOR ANYTHING WITH THE EXCEPTION OF TECHNICAL DIFFICULTIES!!!***
--------------------------------------------------------
POINTS & TROPHIES!!!!!!!!
Points and trophies will go up depending on how many entries I get, how good they are, and all together how many points I am ABLE to spare.
--------------------------------------------------------
Extra information:
**UPDATE!! YOU CAN NOW ENTER MULTIPLE TIMES, SO GO FOR IT!!!
Prewrites are allowed for the time being, but I might change that some time. It depends on various details of how the contest goes.
I prefer the length of the poetry to have a minimum of twenty lines with no maximum limit, but it really depends on the piece itself. Some are really long (over a couple hundred lines long), but they're really good, but then some are only maybe ten lines, but those can be really good, too, so it just depends on the entry itself.
**JUST SO EVERYONE KNOWS, I AM ENTERING POEMS IN THE FINALISTS AREA IN NO PARTICULAR ORDER- THE ORDER AT THE MOMENT IS JUST SORT OF A RANDOM PLACEMENT.
The above information might be updated in the future.
**If your entry is DQed, you can always enter something else to replace it.
--------------------------------------------------------
If you have any questions, then just send me a message.
Please be creative and have fun!!
