Premier Contests are Here...Oh, and PoetrySoup's Funny Kids Poem Contest Update

Blog Posted:4/22/2016 12:15:00 PM

We are now finally finishing the judging of our Funny Kids Poem Contest. The reason it has taken so long is because we were waiting for our new Premier Contest format to come out so we could test it...and now...

Premiere Contests are HERE! Premium members, please check out the contest administration page for specifics.

Premier Contests

These are contests that you, as a Premium Member, can sponsor that adhere to certain basic PoetrySoup contest standards. For instance:

Premier contests can only have one winner per place. For example, there cannot be three 1st place winners, six 2nd place winners, etc.
You can choose up to a maximum of 10 winners per contest.
You can finalize a contest, close a contest, and email winners at one time and all from the contest winner's page.
Winner's page has an easy to use interface for easy dynamic reordering of poem placements.
Your contest's 1st place winners will have a trophy next to their poem on the website.

FYI, you cannot change the contest type of existing contests. This will only take effect on new contests.

Standard Contests

This is the previous contest format. It has not changed. These are contests where you, as a Premium Member, control how many poems place per placement. For example, these contests can have three 1st place winners, six 2nd place winners, etc. However, these contests do not have the ability to email winners.

TPS - You refer to emails in your blog. Do you mean Soup Mail?

Please make an allowance for poetrysoup emails so they do not go into your SPAM folder.

I marked them as safe but to no avail, they are still filtering into the spam folder.

Will this feature still allow the poor people to enter the rich people's poetry contests, and if a poor person happens to write a better poem than a rich person...and wins first place, will they get a trophy next to their named poem...? ...

Hi Mark, You can also become a "rich" premium member for about a penny a day, and at the same time support the site. A win/win situation.

Trust you Cyndi, I'll spell it out, the gold members are the rich, and the rest are the poor.....but are poor allowed to enter ALL contests as they can now ?

Are you talking wealth in monetary terms or wealth of wit, poetic aptitude and bank-on-that-baby!-language? Cause, ya know, we all define being rich in different ways.

WOW! I love the idea of being about to email (Soupmail??? ) the winners! How cool! I'm looking forward to trying this reordering interface (?!?!) TPS, if this doesn't appease everyone, then there IS no appeasing everyone. This must have taken you a lot of work and I know Poetrysoup is your baby, but not the only one you have ;) Thank you!!! YOU are awesome, signed cheeky Souper #2,498.

Same place as usual. When you create a contest, that's where you select the contest type.
