Hey!!
Welcome to AP X Factor Season Two. Incase you don’t know what the contest is about, here it is: contestants are challenged to write in all elements of writing, which means the primary focus won’t be only poetry, but other sorts of writing will be brought to the table as well, such as prose, lyrics, letters, and more! This contest hopes to bring out the best in the writers, help them improve, challenge them, and see which contestant is the all-around best in the group!
This is the audition round. This isn’t even really a round. What you will do is enter a prewrite. The prewrite MUST be from the year 2009, so it will be a recent representation of your talent. Your prewrite can be absolutely anything as long as if it pertains to writing.
You CANNOT enter if you made it to the Top 16 last season.
Judging process will work as follows: “Yes” or “No”. You must acquire a majority vote of “Yes” in order to advance to “boot camp”. Yes, we stole that from the actual X Factor contest…Oh, and I guess American Idol is using it too.
Anyway, enter one entry. Please don’t enter unless you are 100% sure that you can stay committed. Thanks.
Poetic Devices are important. Keep that in mind! If you don't know what poetic devices are...then maybe you shouldn't enter. =/
If you enter the first time and get two "No" then you are allowed to enter one more time. If you get a majority vote of "No" again, then you cannot enter again. Work on improving and come back next season.
If you have questions or concerns, feel free to contact any of the judges.
Best wishes!

Attention!
If you receive two "yes"s then apply for this group. Insert an emotion icon or something!

Contest is Over
- Contest was judged on February 27
- Rewards: Gold: 400, Silver: 100, Bronze: 50, Honorable mention: 5 people
- Final notes: First off, this was an impressive audition. We have 41 poets who have made it through to Boot Camp. With that said, to even make the Preliminary Finalist list is pretty awesome. :]
If you made the preliminary finalist list, then that means one of the judges had you on their "Top 10" list. Averages were made, therefore the result you see.
The top 8 received trophies. They are well-deserved.
The judges decision is final.
Excellent job to all of you! :]
If you are still in the contest and have not been removed, that means you made it through! http://allpoetry.com/group/info/X%20Factor%202?stay=1
You must get into that group, otherwise you will be disqualified. We need you in the group so we can communicate effectively.
Once you're in the group, go on the group board and find the topic "Teams" - find your team, and scroll down the page to find the link to your team's group. It's mandatory that you get into that group too.
Thank you!

how exciting. O:
-
-
lol Heck yes.
I'm stoked. -
-
if by some chance I get in, I am too.
-
-
I'm familiar with your poetry, and I'm sure you will make it in. This time, there's not going to be a limited amount of contestants moving on. Pretty much...it's like...if you're good and if you show potential, then you're in for the "Boot Camp" rounds.
-
-
"Boot camp"?
D:
well, hopefully. :]
and I'm a bit embarassed because you're mostly only familiar with my un-finished first-draft poetry. D;
though at least you'll definatly see improvement.
hahaha. -
-
haha true that.
But even for being first drafts, they're still pretty good.
-
-
thanksssss.
not really, but the only purpose of them at this point is to out-line my ideas for the piece; so I don't forget them. I don't risk my parents finding any of my work on the computer itself; (they're nosy and snoop around.) and my thoughts run too fast for paper.
So all first drafts are recorded here, where all you wonderful poets can see how dumb my first drafts are.
haha. -
Hey. I just entered a new piece. Please tell me if that is what y'all are looking for.
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
if you ever need a guest judge, let me know
-
-
I'll definitely keep you in mind.
-
-
Good luck, all =] This contest is a great way to check out your talent, and how you stack up . . . but not for the lighthearted or thin-skinned
Blessed be,
Zach -
-
Agreed.
It's been a while. Hope you've been well!
-
-
I'm still truckin' along, spewing out poems on occasion ;-)
And it has been a while. Life's been a whirlwind lately, but it's all good.
Hope you're doing well, too
-
-
-
I'm correct and present...but not necessarily awake
Good morning Bro (This is gonna be good...I can feel it in my water )
-
-
This season will be amazing.
-
-
this will be fun, hopefully i will get through.
-
I will probably be this contests #1 fan because I will miss not being apart of it, so I will just stalk it
-
-
STALKER!
-
-
Would I please be able to re-enter?
I didn't realise the focus would be on poetic devices, I am kicking myself as to my poem choice now ... if not then thank you for your time. If so than I promie to find one more suited! Cause this does sound wonderful (I like to improve myself) -
-
You're more than welcome to give it a second shot.
If you get a majority vote of "No" the second time, then you can't try again. There will be next season --- probably this summer or Fall at the earliest. So there will be plenty of time to improve.
-
-
YAYYY
-
there's a picture now!
a big picture. hahaha.
yay. im excited. now lets see if i can make it
past bootcamp.
-
Oh my goodness! What a line-up of poets!

-
-

What have I gotten myself into?
