What exactly IS this contest? Is it for the best feedback, or is it for poems you want feedback on?

This is the feedback section of the 2007 Raven Contest where entrants of the contest or any member of AP can give us their view about it, e.g. what was good, what can be improved, ideas on how it could be advertised more to make it accessible to more AP members etc.
The Raven Contest will be held Annually and this year took place from 1st June to 1st October. All information about this years contest can be found here:

Actually
I think the Raven Contest should be a tri-monthly contest series...
I enjoyed the feedback and actually thin it was a nice step in the right direction for the website here...
I'm tired of being told...."your poem was good" and getting nothing back bout it...
No poem can catch everyone's eye...not ever the greatestpoets ever can accomplish that, and I think it's nice to be told the good and bad points you have on a poem...
I entered three of the raven contests and got great reviews all around...
I often frrl like not many people understand poetry as I do....but you guys pulled me away from this solitaire confinement and I know now that I am not alone....
I hope you hold these contests again, and I would love to participate as always....
Peace and Love to all the judges,
And as always
Take care and keep writing...

Hello lostinawe. I am pleased to see you enjoyed taking part in this years contest and found the comments to be constructive. During the contest it was not only our aim to find excellent poetry but also to give constructive criticism to authors where we felt it would be a benefit and I received many positive messages with thoughts similar to yours.
As you know, the Raven Contest is very large and therefore takes a lot of advance planning behind the scenes before it ever reaches your screen and due to the number of entries, which we hope will expand in future years, it also takes a while for all entries to be read and judged. For these reasons it is not really a viable option at the moment to run the contest more than once a year, though it is something to think about for the future.
It appears you found an extra benefit to the contest in that it brought you out of isolation in your poetry, which is a positive thing. This is an area that we hadn't really considered so if you would like to explain to me just how that was acheived I would be interested.(send me an IM if you prefer)
In this section of the feedback contest we are also offering trophies for the best comments so if you would like to copy your message over to the official message board or you can enter it the same as you would a poem page, all comments will be read and judged from there. The link is:

Thank you for taking the time to read this and give us your feedback. We look forward to seeing you in next years contest
