Rules:
1. Make it relevant to the contest.
- Lampoon or ridicule, highlight or criticise, comment or analyse - just make it about stereotypes.
2. White text on a black background only.
- That includes the borders. Oh, and don't bother with adding pictures.
That is all.
This contest will be judged mid-February.

Contest is Over
- Contest was judged on February 26
- Rewards: Gold: 401
- Final notes: I started to lose the will to live by about poem 5 in this contest.
Firstly, only about 4 entrants managed to meet both of the simple contest rules. I hope AP introduces a system whereby people have to pay to enter contests - maybe it will stop them entering the same piece in hundreds of contests regardless of relevance. Perhaps not. It also not hard to read and follow the simple rules I laid out - I am doing you the courtesy of reading and commenting on your poetry, return that by reading the contest description.
Secondly, the rhymers. I normally have a third rule asking for no rhyming, but people never follow that either anyway. However, some of the entrants this time out set new records for how bad rhyme can get. Forced, out of place, and half the time not even rhyming properly. It left my feeling like I'd had my teeth ground down by an electric sander.
Thirdly, only one trophy is being awarded, as to give out silver and bronze in this contest would have been like awarding medals to fork and knife in a "best utensils with which to eat soup" competition.
I might run another contest, but am increasingly wondering why I bother.
A big well done to the winner, who managed literacy, satire, and comment.
Spasibo,
UP
