**For those of you in a Pet-sit Panic - Please Read**

Blog Posted:8/17/2010 12:00:00 PM

I checked on my contest entries and I have 11 of the 25 already, wow, that's fab, keep 'em coming :) I can't wait to read them.


I requested that ALL entries have 'Pet-sit Panic' as the title. The reason for this is so that I can easily avoid reading any entry by accident and identifying any title as belonging to a particular author.


I actually covered half of my pc screen to keep the author list covered, and scrolled down the 'New Poems' list. There are some titles that I believe will be entered into my contest BUT they are currently titled incorrectly.


PLEASE, PLEASE title your poem as PET-SIT PANIC or PET-SIT PANICS

My intention is not to be pedantic, but purely to ensure all entries remain anonymous until judging is complete.


Thanks for your co-operation :)

Judging blind is fine..but after you have judged as many contests as I have, you do not even need the name, to identify the poet, you just recognize the style of most, very rarely am I wrong on who wrote what, and I am confident enough in my judging, that a name would not determine a placement, I think as long as you judge fair and equal, no one will ever find fault, if the poem talks to your soul and heart, makes you laugh or cry, you have your winner, no matter who wrote it~~
