Anyone not on the above list is ineligible 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, preferably for this stage of the tour at least 10 lines.
No inappropriate 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.
Text must be legible on the chosen background, style and form are poets choice.
Stage 7: - U.S.A
Three of the things U.S.A is famous for are:-
Presidency –
Write a speech as though you were in the current race to be elected president.
Disney –
Create your own new character for an animated movie, describe fully so it comes to life on the page.
Grand Canyon –
Many visit here and the vastness of the expanse leads to most contemplating and re-evaluating their existence and purpose. Write about your own deep contemplation or your thoughts on what is important in life.
As this is the last round before the final, I expect you all to dig deep as only the top 3 on overall score will contest the final.
The final will become a level playing field between these contestants (scores returned to scratch) and will be a 2 part challenge.
Best wishes to you all and thanks for being involved in this majestic journey.
