Oh well,
I don't enter contests with such silly rules as, "PUT YOUR USERNAME IN THE AN ..IF NOT IMMEDIATE DQ!!!", but insha'Allah your next contest might not have such terms. -
-
thats not silly I might read a poem that I really like and want to read more of the writer ....even if it doesn't get a trophy...! however you can check ma other runn contest here's the link http://allpoetry.com/contest/2461729...

The person's name
and a link to their peofile comes up every time they post. That is why it is silly; it is redundant. It just wastes time. It's like asking an artist to paint your shed before they do your portrait. -
-
if you don't have a gold membership,
you have to make your contests anonymous,
with no user info or any way of knowing who wrote the poem,
unless they s p a c e o u t their name in the AN.

The problem with allowing pre-writes, is that you drown in them.
-
-
ya...I guess ...but I hate it when I find that I have a poem a very good one but a pre-written that wont be allowed on any contest since most of them want fresh writes
-
-
i'd enter. but it's only rhyme.
bummer -
I put my username in the AN, but the contest shows it to be anoymous. I don't quite get that.

he meant to say 'space your name in the AN.'
you have to put this:

Well the gold winner put their name in the AN, so obviously that's what it meant.

Thank you for hosting a great contest and for the bronze trophy. Congratulations, one and all. Be well, Poets and Scribes.

Wow, thank you so very much for the honor of winning gold in your contest and congratulations as well to all the other winners too. I love that poem too for it brings me great peace and tranquility when I need some. I hope you enjoyed all your wonderful entries.
Wishing You Many Blessings,
Much Love Always,
