N a and All That

Contests are quite a  too do on PoetrySoup
if contestants must jump through a hoop
an N/A just means place not awarded
nothing more nor less is intended

Jan Allison Date: 4/20/2021 6:49:00 AM Bravo Brian, you made me smile Now we have clarification of what the 'dreaded' n/a means lol. The blog can run on chewing over the cud but at the end of the day the sponsor has the final decision and if n/a'd we must move on to another contest. Recently I didnt place in a contest with what I thought was a really worthy piece, then on reflection i discovered I had edited it and the syllable count wasn't correct. I will continue to support contests as long as i am able to hold a pen!:-) hugs Jan xx Login to Reply Brian Strand Date: 4/20/2021 12:14:00 PM Yes Jan this is the PoetrySoup advice to sponsors and I follow it and decide there and award a first placing thereto (I dislike differentiating works of art that appeal to me) and thus am able to finalise quickly and publish and discover wrote each winner Jan Allison Date: 4/20/2021 11:56:00 AM Do you judge the poems as soon as they come in, I've noticed the results seem to appear quite quickly once the contest has closed. i know some sponsors read the poems as they come in, others when the contest has closed and wondered what your approach was. Hope you dont mind me asking:-) hugs Jan xx Brian Strand Date: 4/20/2021 7:14:00 AM Also its the reason I try to 'turn over ' my contests quickly to provide another opportunity to 'win' asap Brian Strand Date: 4/20/2021 7:11:00 AM You do that Jan,they are an easy way to communicate with each other,as we would.. face-to face in an evening class
