Contest is Over
- Contest was judged on December 22, 2007
- Rewards: Gold: 1000, Silver: 500, Bronze: 250, Honorable mention: 8 people
- Final notes: First let me wish you all a very happy and safe Holiday!
Now the fun stuff ~ The Judging results
I reread each entry for a 2nd time; however this time taking a closer look at many factors of the piece. The Judging was based off the following criteria:
Overall - 10 points value: This is the complete piece, including my personal view on how I felt about the read the 1st time through. Yes, I used my comments. There was only one entry I missed commenting.
Follows the rules of the format - 10 points value: I was quite surprised of the number of entries that didn't follow their own guidelines. (This is including if you said each line is 5 syllables... then I checked each line.... if it wasn't 5 syllables you lost a point... If you said the lines rhyme and then they didn't ~ you lost another point.) I actually thought I’d be an easy 10 points for everyone… yet only a couple of the entries received 10 points here…
Prompt - 10 points value: How your piece related to the requested prompt of Emotions
Form Creativity/Complexity - 20 points value: The value here was how unique you made your new form.
Spelling & Grammar - 10 points value
Poetic Value & Layout/use of form rhyme or non-rhyming abilities - 40 points value: This is an overall how the piece and form relates. This actually was broken down to 4 sub groups valued at 10 points each.
Points were totaled. (In the event of a tie the order would be determined by a combination of the Form Creativity, Complexity, Prompt and overall scores only - there were two groups that tied but I won‘t indicate if it was in the top positions or the H.M positions) The order for gold, silver and bronze was determined.
I’ve added Honorable Mentions which of course ~ there is NO particular order.
I hope you enjoyed your final round and will enter future contest. Personally I enjoyed reading every piece, the forms are incredible and I hope you will give permission for me to try them.
As an added note; I did have quite a few rewriters here ~ I was quite impressed how you were able to step up to the plate to create the forms you did.
~ Thank you all ~
It is truly a pleasure having you here.
I hope to see you in any future

I already created 7 recognized forms...can't I submit a fresh write in one of those, or must I create yet another new one?

Creating a new one was more fun

Is "Emotions" the prompt or are you assigning us each an emotion?

YIKES!
That was a tough one! I am a freeverse poet, so I don't even WRITE form poetry, let alone make up my own! Hope I didn't screw it up too badly!
