Title: A N Y T H I N G ~ G O E S !
Brief Summary: 1500 for the win! Enter anything! Read rules for further details.
What to say?
Well, anything goes! I thoroughly enjoy commenting and reading poetry. I am closing this Saturday so I have the all of next week to read (and comment, if I have time during the judging [if I don't have time, I will still eventually give you my critique]).
I put the limit to 0, because I want lots of poems. I am hoping to get at least 300, and my goal was 500... so yeah. I don't care whether the best of the best enter or beginner poets enter. This is supposed to be fun and enjoyable.
The rules are pretty much as followed:
I. I would prefer you to enter at LEAST two poems.
II. Choose your poems to your liking. If you think it's good enough for the win, enter it. If not, then find another. Chances are that if you dislike it, it wasn't your best effort.
III. It can be any rating. It can be G rated to MA. I'm mature enough to understand this is poetry and expression, not anything else overbearing.
IV. Please be considerate of others, and do not bash on anyone for their beliefs or writing style.
V. Don't scream at me if I don't comment on your poem within the judging time. Someone has passed away in my life recently, and I am moving February 9th. I will find time during my existence (lol) to comment. Don't be surprised if it isn't until the end of February (in the worst of cases).
VI. I will judge this contest fairly. I will have my own personal checklist/scale/whatever-you-want-to-call-it to grade the poems and how well they are written/expression/etc.
VII. If you are on my favorites, it does not guarantee you a win. I am able to see who enters, but it does not affect my judging.
VIII. Tell your friends about this. The more entries, the better (quite honestly).
IX. I am about 90% of my points for this contest, so I don't have much for second, third, and HM places. 1500 is for the win currently. I plan to gather come points up for the other places, so expect those point values to go up within this week. If not, then something must have happened. D:
X. Forget to mention earlier, but prewrites and new writes are allowed! Please try to make sure I have not already commented on your piece, because it would be pointless to comment again.
XI. It's cheesy to say, but have fun.
So get crackin'!
Best of luck to all.

Contest is Over
- Contest was judged on February 3, 2008
- Rewards: Gold: 1500, Silver: 500, Bronze: 300
- Final notes: Wow, this was a really long contest! It was so much fun to read everyone's entries, and I am amazed at the talent AP holds. I carefully picked the winners. It came down to 16 from the 300-something, then down to 6... and down to 4... then these final 3. I loved STRETCH IF YOU WILL from the very first time I read it. TACTICAL MOVES was very clever and humorous, and it has made me smile everytime I reread it. IN THE OTHER MANS SHOES is just an exceptional write with an awesome ending! Please check out all of these poems, you won't be disappointed! And thank you ALL for entering my contest! Great job!
