Acrostics: Contest

Please Note: ALL entries will be replied to once the contest is over so I can see who I have commented on! I will also, if I have time, write critiques on atleast another one of your poems as a thank you for entering! Thank you to all those who have entered so far! Thank you to all of you that will be considering entering!

Allo everyone!

Contest number 6 - Bring it on!

I want you to write an acrostic on your all poetry name! It's as simple as that! Make sure that you try and incorporate all the different sides to your personality and try and make it an accurate reflection of yourself! Acrostics will be judged on originality and i will be reading your authors page's to see if it sums you up or not! I will lean towards the non prewrites but may the best poem win!

Before you enter you MUST read the following rules and a list of the prizes whahahha!

By the way:

I'm having loads of contests at the moment! I'm sure you will all find one that will interest you!

allpoetry.com/Contest/879462 - Sexuality
allpoetry.com/Contest/879405 - Christmas Time
allpoetry.com/Contest/879437 - To the Beat
allpoetry.com/Contest/879441 - Acrostics!
allpoetry.com/contest/881953 - Being In Love

Right the prizes are:

1st 300 points
2nd shiny trophy
3rd shiny trophy

Before you enter, PLEASE read the rules!

The rules:

1. One entry per person. I have allowed prewrites but i will only accept 30 entries

2. No sTiCkY cApS

3. Swearing where appropriate is allowed but strictly no erotica

4. You MUST use spell check before you post your poem.

5. Personal Acrostics only - nothing else please.

6. Comment on at least one other persons entry in the contest (a proper critique not just Good Job whatever..  ) and say who you commented on in your Authors Comments

7. Comment on my personal acrostic Suicidal Child. I want a discussion and proper critiques! I need to improve my work so i need your honesty here. Good job.. i feel the emotion etc isn't really a critique and will be ignored.

allpoetry.com/Poem/868043 - Suicidal Child

8. If you don't follow ALL the above rules your entry will be disqualified!

9. Just to show that you've read all these rules, please put the following lines into your authors comments:

into this night i wander
it's morning that i dread

I know it's lame but experience from previous contests has shown me that people often just submit prewrites and dint bother following the rules :S

Good luck all!  

Contest is Over

  • Contest was judged on November 22, 2004
  • Rewards: Gold: 300
  • Final notes:
    Hello all

    I am so sorry for taking so long to judge this contest! I took on too many contests and I got a little stranded with uni work and such. But anyway, I realise this is not a good enough excuse so I want to say a BIG sorry.

    Apologies aside, I want to say that this contest was really hard to judge. And when I say that I mean it was almost too difficult to call. I wasn't going to give HM'S I don't think, but I have no choice but to award Honourable mentions to:

    Alexandra Solnishka by persephone grey
    Lady Calin by Lady Calin
    Me, Myself, and I by Samplette
    Sunder Rising by SunderX

    Who all win 10 points each!

    If you didn't get a trophy or Honourable mentions please try not and be disappointed. It wasn't that your poem wasn't good enough (although that is easier said than to believe truelly), it was that there were so many unbelievably brilliant entries that I wished I had many hundreds more trophies. I hope as a result of this contest you received some positive feedback from fellow contestants and myself that may help you and encourage you for the future

    chasingtheday

    crazy head jamming
    hope inside of dark poetry
    arises from the soft
    sunshine gathering
    in the fingertips that
    never stop typing up words
    galloping like wild horses -
    they chase the day into new
    horizons flipping colours
    everywhere you care to
    dance your eyes
    and that is me,
    yelling alive inside of dead.

    This sounds interesting...and it's quite odd that the first contest I look at, is one about my username...I do have a question however. The only thing in my author page is my acrostic...
    Is it alright if I happen to use that for this contest????

    Please let me know a.s.a.p.!

    My apologies for taking so long to judge! I took on too many contests for me to handle and I feel like I have disappointed you all in not replying to this sooner! I will be judging this contest right away and I am very sorry for not providing the advice needed to make this contest a true success! Peace and Harmony to you all xxx
