Alright time for me to hold another contest, and what better to do than to have a champions round. Here are the rules as best as I can make them.
All entries must have won prior gold cups
Any Entries without will be DQ'd
Poetry is Art so Foul Language is allowed
I do give a crap how you lable your poems just because underagers frequent this site doesn't mean they have poor judgement skills they can make up their minds on how they percieve the pieces
Do not molest the shift key by punishment of DQ and flogging
I personally like thought provoking pieces that boarder on dark.
I do know that there is going to be a special request for the winner of this contest that might require some extra time and thought. I am not going to say what that is, only be prepared for it when it comes. If the request is declined by the winner it will fall to silver and then bronze. If all three decline then another contest will be held and the same rules will be in place.
Astound me like all the AP writers have done time in and time out!

Contest is Over
- Contest was judged on November 23
- Rewards: Gold: 400, Silver: 200, Bronze: 100, Honorable mention: 2 people
- Final notes: May I say for the record that I had no idea what I was getting into holding a contest like this. Secondly I need to say thank you to all of the AP poets who entered you are all winners in my book. (You had to be to remain in the contest ) I am not going to put here what the secondary prize is for it might taint the following contest should Gold Silver and Bronze Decline. I do want to say this was insanely hard to judge and I have pondered long and hard on the choices I have made going back to read and re-read time and again to make sure I was seeing the poems what I was seeing., that being said I feel I have the the best choices and will close my contest!

Too bad, no gold yet. Haven't been here long enough. I would have entered. Sounds like fun.

I entered one bro
It's not my darkest, which happens to be my best gold lol, BUT I think it's a thought provoking one with lots of darkness in it
