    I was hoping you could explain what you meant in the rules. I have a poem that is 12 lines long. It has won a gold but and no other trophies.

    Wasn't sure what you meant by this:
    "and not have a line of contest you entered it into."

    By this I assume it means that it can not be in another active contest?
    "The poem cannot be in any other contest "

    Thanks.

    Does it really have to be under twenty lines? There's a poem I want to submit, but it's 36 lines long.
