*New...........
Read Everything! Many are not following the rules..
Oh my...
I am holding a prewrite only contest.
Those who know me, or have entered my contests in the past know that I don't allow prewrites as a rule.
BUT....someone, and trust me it wasn't you; got my goat about not allowing prewrites. SO...thus a prewrite contest.
I don't want just any prewrite however. I want an uplifting piece of poetry. Any form as well. I don't want it to be a book, I will lose interest. So, no more than 50 lines.
~
No profanity
No erotica
Only two entries per poet
May not be entered in another contest the duration of this one. If it placed,(in an old one) may not be entered.(includes HM)
No bashing anyone or anything
Must be Uplifting...encouraging...spiritual...loving...etc...
ANY ENTRY THAT I FEEL DOES NOT FIT THIS CONTEST, WILL BE REMOVED WITH NO EXPLANATION.
DON'T JUST ENTER ANY PREWRITE, MAKE IT FIT THE UPLIFTING REQUIREMENT, PLEASE!!
Best to all those who enter!!!

Contest is Over
- Contest was judged on September 20, 2008
- Rewards: Gold: 700, Silver: 200, Bronze: 100, Honorable mention: 10 people
- Final notes: I consider this contest a good one. Though the reason I don't usually allow prewrites poured heavily into this contest. Loads of entries that didn't follow the simple contest requirements; aka:rules.
Still, I thank you all for taking time to enter, and I especially thank those who took time to read some of the pieces entered. Great job!!!
Congratulations to you all...thanks for entering!

I've been trying to submit a poem but I get an error saying it's being rejected due to erotic content, but it's not erotic in any form. No erotic words or content. I'm confused!!

I hope i fit what you wanted! Thank you so much for having this contest i love getting feedback on my poetry & its hard to find contests that alow prewrites & give you freedom to write about how your feeling in you emotion! i dont like contests with many rules because you cant write how your feeling! thank you very much & i hope you like my poem!
