Contest Update!!! - Leighann Anderson's Blog

Hi folks, this is a short update on my contest: Magic Words.  I have 23 entries so far and sadly I have had to dimiss 10 of them due to them not being revelent to the brief.  I have asked anyone who enters to write about the image supplied by describing it poetically.  I have already said this twice and in the contest information in bold lettering and I am not one who favours repeating themselves.  If any entries are not based on the supplied image in the contest information they will be dismissed and thus not selected to go onto the following stages; this also restricts other poets from entering the contest for the limit is only 45.  Now, please read the contest information carefully because the image attached is not there for artistic additions, it is there to enable poets to write a poem based on what is there in the image itself.  Thank you for listening.

I've been giving it some thought. Good luck to all the contestants. I hope they read your blog. Login to Reply
