Note: Free Verse (vers libre) or Modern Verse is a school of poetry that has been around for over one century. Do not confuse with the word "contemporary".
Trophy winners will be invited to submit their poems to the Anthology "On Viewless Wings". In fact, Gold will automatically be included in this anthology. Please note this latter statement! Naturally, other authors may apply after the contest is judged to place in the anthology.
NOTE: This is NOT an anonymous contest because the Gold will default to second or third place if the 'winner' objects to the conditions in place.
Subject or Theme: This is up to the poet entirely.
Please align left on a neutral and white or pastel background.
Intelligent punctuation is important to me unless the poetic style demands none.
Contest is Over
- Contest was judged on July 29
- Rewards: Gold: 1000, Silver: 750, Bronze: 300, Honorable mention: 5 people
- Final notes: Apologies in that I have not had time to make comments except this general one: the poems, in the main, were of goods standing for AP in my opinion. Obviously, in placing in order some would disagree. Congratulations to the medal winners and the 7 chosen to stand with them.
10 fine poems from the original 50.
Thank you all. Lyndon.
