Hello everyone and welcome!

 

 

Guys against gals:

(Your competition: http://allpoetry.com/contest/show/2381636)

Ready guys? ~smile~

Sorry this took so long to get underway, we are here now so, let's get started!

This is the first round of four. Just a note to let you know, one of these rounds will be a collab round.
If that is not something that interests you, let us know and we will replace you.


Reserve a spot.

Once all invited poets have reserved, you will be given the information you need to write your poems.

The theme for this round will be:
Personification

No more than 15 lines.

Judging system:
Total possible points 100

rules: 10
presentation: 10
spelling, grammar, and punctuation: 20
originality: 20
how well you handled the prompt: 20
overall: 20

3 men and 3 women will be eliminated during the first round,

6 poets in total.

Now, you were invited here because you are the best of the best, the cream of AP's crop in our eyes.
Show us we are not misguided in thinking so.

Rules:
1. No dirty pretty, chat speak or sticky caps, please.
2. No bashing the competition.
3. No swearing, cutting, suicide, so on and so forth (doesn't fit this theme at all)
4. Label your entries accordingly.
5. Spelling, grammar, and punctuation count.
6. Please, make sure you have read the rules before entering and are willing to comply.

 

 

This is not an anonymous contest so, if you have any questions, do not hesitate to ask.  One of us will get back to you ASAP.

 


 

Contest is Over

  • Contest was judged on December 21, 2007
  • Rewards: Gold: 400, Silver: 200, Bronze: 100, Honorable mention: 9 people
  • Final notes:
    Gentleman WOW! I am impressed with the entries for this contest I realize we were a little tough on you this round but I wanted to see what everyone would bring and I was not disappointed in the least Thanks so much for all the work you put into your entries

    As you were told there would be 3 eliminations this round. Sadly one person had to withdraw due to time constraints and another didn't finish their poem so I only have one elimination this time around.

    Those of you whom are in the final list, with awards, move on to round two which will post a little later today. Links will be sent to you VIA IM and one will be posted on THIS contest page as well, be sure to check! Congratulations to you!


    To those of you whom did not move forward, please do not take it personally and know you did a fine job! I wish you all the best.

    Be well and be blessed
    Michelle
