Anyone not on the above list is inelegible to enter,
those that are on the list I would appreciate it if you do not change your user name during the course of the contest series (for scoring purposes) - if however you absolutely must - send me an IM so I can ensure you get invited into the next round should you not be eliminated.
The Rules:
Keep entries to less than 50 lines and preferrably more than 5 lines.
No inapropriate content including foul language, abuse themes or bloodletting of any kind.
Entry must comply with the given task or available options and identify the specific option chosen if applicable.
Stage 1 Destination - Australia:
Choose something about Australia
that interests or enchants you -
it can be the landscape,
a unique or unusual event,
aboriginal culture,
a specific place - person or thing,
or even the term "down under".
The choice is yours.
Through the rest of this series you will visit other destinations around the globe, each with a challenge based on that destination.
Each round, provided that everyone who is eligble has entered and no-one has withdrawn of their own accord, will see one of you be eliminated - only the top 3 on overall score will contest the final round.
Get your pens and paper and start writing.
Remember the Judging panel consist of myself (Errant Panther), crazylittledevil and Frozentearz.
Judging rubric for the entire series is as follows:
Poetic Devices ......... /40
Creativity/Form/Flow ......... /30
Theme Used/Rules Obeyed ......... /30
Contest is Over
- Contest was judged on June 5, 2008
- Rewards: Gold: 300
- Final notes: Thank you to all for participating in this series, and what a way to kick it off but on my home soil and with some very close scoring between talented poets.
Due to forever - silenced withdrawing from the contest citing a demanding study schedule and 6 other qualifiers not submitting an entry, you will all continue to round 2. http://allpoetry.com/contest/2408459
The scores will accumulate from this point onwards but each round will be individually ranked depending on scores for that round. Placings for this round with scores / 300 are as follows:
poet2angels..................292
Polaja.......................291
jasminerose..................291
Kahliya......................288
azure85......................285
