welcome to the coruscate rounds! you have 3 judges: me, aanika, and CalandraJane (amelia).
the name may change.
cor⋅us⋅cate [kawr-uh-skeyt, kor-]
–verb (used without object), -cat⋅ed, -cat⋅ing.
to emit vivid flashes of light; sparkle; scintillate; gleam.
each round gets harder; this is the auditions. show us what you've got.
each judge will comment with either a yes or a no, 3 yeses and you're instantly into the next round. depending on how many entries we get, 2 yeses may give you a semi-shot.
submit a prewrite, no rhyme, no crap.
go.
EDIT- don't let the list of preliminary finalists intimidate you, let it show you what we're looking for in a poem. it'll grow, so if you think you can, you probably can help that list grow.
so seriously, don't be scared away by it. (:

i'm in way too many rounds contests. XD -
wait, do we use coruscate as our prompt?
-
-
no, you submit a prewrite. that's just the title of the rounds. (;
-
-
Holy moley!
Thank you for the silver!
<3 -
did the judges change or something??
-
-
yeah. we had three, now we have two. one left.
-
-
what happened to all of the judges saying yes or no
-
-
1. if a poem gets one no, it's automatically out of the next round. therefore, we don't have to have every judge give a vote.
2. there's only two judges now. the third left.
