Anthology Selection Process Update!

Blog Posted by Team Poetrysoup: 11/6/2023 9:23:00 AM

We are very close to completing the selection of the poems to include in our current anthology.

What did the selection process involve? 

We started by reading every one of the almost 2000 poems submitted to the anthology. We picked out the ones we considered to be worthy of inclusion.

After we read all of the poems, we went back through and read all of the poems that we initially rejected. We wanted to make sure that we noticed all worthy inclusions. During this process, we added more poems to the selected list.

Now, we are reading the poems that we selected for inclusion again. We will filter out poems that we feel should be excluded.

We hope to have the final selections by the end of this weekend.

You are all awesome, it has to be so very difficult! Just my little contests are hard for me. I always get lots of help because there are so many wonderful poems. My family help me by reading and then using a voting system, I stick with the majority consensus of all our votes in my placements, and I appreciate the dears who help me so very much! You all are working on judging 2000 poems...wow, I can't even imagine. I don't know who is involved on the team, but you are awesome <3 Thank you so much for all you do all the time.
