Heather Ober's Blog
 I'm a 25 year-old Canadian gal living in the nation's capital. I love to paint, draw, sing and write. I've always enjoyed creative writing, but I only started writing poetry last year - and, I have to say, poetry is becoming my favourite form of creative expression. I have already learned so much from the talented poets here at PS. You people are truly a source of poetic inspiration!

Hi Everyone!
Here are the details for my first contest:
What to Submit? 1 original, poem on the theme of..... Famous Art. Write a poem about a piece of famous artwork (i.e. a painting, drawing, sculpture, etc.). You can either describe the artwork itself or describe what you believe the artist is/was trying to convey. At the end of your poem, provide the title of the artwork you have described and the artist's name (a link to an image would be helpful, if possible). Any form is acceptable. You can enter a new poem or an old poem, as long as it follows these rules. But please do NOT write your name on your entry, since I would like to judge this contest blind. Prizes First Prize, Glory
Second Prize, Glory
Third Prize, Glory
Twelve Honorable Mentions Preparing Your Entry Submit one copy of your poem online. Format your poem. Please make your entry easy to read — no illustrations or fancy fonts. English Language Poems should be in English. Poems translated from other languages are not eligible, unless you wrote both the original poem and the translation. A Note to Poetry Contestants You are welcome to enter this contest, whether or not you won a prize in one of my previous contests. |
