Ok, here we go, not many rules to this, i just want long poems. Apart from that, its up to you.
-I am allowing prewrites, but they have to be a decent length...500+ lines, but please feel to write fresh stuff if you feel up to it.
-Be creatve with spelling and grammar if you must, but please make it readable.
-I will comment on each, dont't worry.
-Anything goes as regards to content, make me smile, make me shiver, make me cry, it's up to you.
-if i dont get atleast 10 enteries i shall pull the plug, sorry, but i will still try to comment on those who have entered.
-have fun!
-----UPDATE!
-ok, so there looks like a lot of you want to submit poems that are less than 500 lines. I will still comment on these, and as long as they are still of substantial length (this isn't really a contest for tiny little poems) you still might find my favour.

Good luck with your contest, the longest poem I've ever written was 108 lines, but it was all nonsense.
So I wish everyone who decided to enter this contest all the best!

-
you want poems over 500 lines long??
well... I wish you the best of luck in getting entries
-
500+ " WOW "
If the Poem has to be 500+ lines looks like the most of us will have to delete.
Please let us know. -
Sorry, don't have anything that long but good luck with it.
-
wow..are you really going to read so much.. people complain about my long writes and you're askin for 500+ the longest i have is 102 lines =/ Good luck with this though this is a challenge
-
I'm amazed that so many people are great writers but can't count... lol
-
-
AP Lies. I have counted mine five times since I finished and there are 520+- lines....awk!!!!! And it was a fresh write as of three days ago when I found the contest too.

-
I thougt it only applied to prewrites anyway? I apologize for that comment...
-

-
Is there such a thing???
It will fill up my computer's memory.
lol -
-
Lol... how's the old Vic Twenty workin' for ya these days anyway?
-
-
in these days of internet attention spans finally a contest a poet can sink his teeth into...too long? give me a break tell that to Milton or Poe or well many of the greatest poets who could whip out 500 lines on toilet paper before finishing their 'other duties' write on! I hope you are the beginning of a new era at AP-epic era! but I doubt it ...peace
-
Most entries here don't appear to have been able to read the requirements (which is why I'm not entering, longest is only 181), I have a long piece I am working on...but it is on the back burner with still 10 or so parts still to be written for it.
Great idea for a contest though, the very best of luck with it. -
I like your name
-
OMG, I never read the Update and I spent three days making sure I hit the 500 + line mark.....awk!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
I think some people cannot read!
-
This is just a new challenge!!
-
lol, hope I have enough time, I only have 56 lines so far, and I have spent more time on this one poem then I have my entire collection. 4hours!
-
good luck judge.
-
and you do not even bother to comment on such work done? Wow.
-
Hey, thanks, it finally won a Gold!
The kernel (up to the wedding) actually won gold in it's initial contest, but the contest holder fell under pressure by a browbeating rhymer, and changed the results! Like, "You can't make that gold just because you liked it- it has no formal form or strict meter blah blah blah"...!
