Picture Inspired Contest (February)

I'm back with another picture inspired contest! I've gotten so many wonderful poems to read through contests like this so I decided to keep them up. This time there are fewer points but they will go up if I get a good amount of entries. Good luck you all!

INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Pick a number between 1 and 100, after checking the available picture numbers below and the poems posted this far (see step 2).
Available pictures:
010
014 – 015 – 016
021 – 022 - 023 – 025 – 028 – 029 – 030
032 – 034 – 035 - 036 – 038 – 039 – 040
041 – 043 - 044 – 048 – 049 – 050
052 – 053 – 057 – 059 – 060
061 – 062 – 063 - 064 – 065 – 067 – 068 – 069 – 070
071 – 073 – 074 – 076 - 079 – 080
081 – 082 – 083 – 084 – 085 – 086 – 090
091 – 094 – 095 - 096

2. Reserve a spot/picture in this contest by opening a new empty poem, with the PICTURE NUMBER and your allpoetry.com USERNAME as the topic (for example: 001 – USERNAME). I will then IM you the link to the picture you chose as soon as I humanly can. As soon as I send you the picture, I will edit the “available pictures”-list so there won’t be any mistakes on this one! Remember to add your username to the post because I can't hold open contests (I can't see usernames) and therefore don't know who to send the picture link to!

3. Write me a poem inspired by the picture and wish yourself some good luck in the contest! If you use the picture in your poem, also remember to credit them properly.


You can enter up to three poems for this contest by this same method, but you can reserve a new number only after you have written a poem to the previous picture granted to you. If the picture doesn’t speak anything to you, you can change it by contacting me directly.

Don’t worry; this really isn’t as difficult as it sounds!

This contest will be open all of February and will close March 1st. It will be judged March 3rd the latest.

PS. In the previous contests I've had some problems sending messages to some people. I sent them the picture (I actually checked it form my sent messages) but they never reached their goal. So, if you haven't received a picture in 3 days after you submitted your request, contact me directly and I'll send it again.

Contest is Over

  • Contest was judged on March 2, 2008
  • Rewards: Gold: 300, Silver: 200, Bronze: 100, Honorable mention: 5 people
  • Final notes:
    Firstly, I want to thank you all for taking part of my February contest. It seems by each month I keep a contest like this, it gets harder and harder to judge... I struggle a long while with these entries before I got to a decision. You all did a marvelous job, some better than others of course, so you all should be proud of yourselves! *applouds to everyone*

    I selected the winners by my own feelings again. Those poems that touched me the most again won the trophies. I would've wanted to give out a lot more, actually, but that'd be too costy for my budjet... But I did decide to give out 5 HM's in this contest because the top 10 poems were very difficult for me to decide...

    Thank you again for taking part of this contest and congratulations to the winners. My March contest is going to start today so if you're still interested of contests like this, I'd be more than happy to see you attend.
