Cyndi, Thank you so much for your offer. I have a better understanding. Don't think it's necessary now. Best Kathy

Kathleen, we are not allowed to ask poets to put their names on their poems when being submitted.... they feel we might show favoritism.. which in that case can be very true. Your copyright is automatically place on your poem and is not seen by the sponsor.

It helps to know that the copyright is not seen. Thanks!

It just means don't put your name in the poem text area. The site does assign your name to the poem but the contest judges can only see the text.

When they come to judge the contest the sponsor doesn't see the copyrighted name just the poem, title and form :-) Some sponsors may ask for a particular title so they do not read a poem before it is judged:-) hugs Jan xx

Kathy ,I judge my contests blind,any poem entered with a name thereon or other identification therefore is not selected for further consideration.I would add I do not read poetry elsewhere on PS .
