DRAMATIC change to PoetrySoup
Blog Posted:7/15/2012 12:12:00 PM
Dear Soupers, starting in 2013 there will be a dramatic change in PoetrySoup. PoetrySoup will no longer sponsor the PoetrySoup International Poetry Contest. INSTEAD, we will sponsor smaller contests and provide FINANCIAL incentives to Premium Members who sponsor well-run contests. For example, we may give Premium Members cash prizes for how well they judge contests, and also may give them CASH to offer as prize money for subsequent contests. We are still working out the details and will provide them as soon as we have them ironed out (give us your suggestions). This change was initiated by the change in the health circumstances of our International Poetry Contest judge. We also think that this will increase the quality, frequency, and number of Premium Member contests. We look forward to these exciting changes and more enhancements in the coming months.
