Contest Description
What to Submit?
1 original, poem on the theme of ....... (your own competition)
Any form is acceptable.
Have you ever set up a competition and then been frustrated that the only person who cannot enter is YOU? Or wished that you could sponsor a competition, but not been in the position to do so?
The rules for this competition are simple.
- Poem name must be the name of the competition you wish to be entering.
- Set the form appropriately for the form you have chosen.
- Nominate one criterion you are striving to achieve. (For example, perfect use of the form, good spelling and grammar, creativity, modernism, passion, spirituality, mood, imagery etc…)
This may be difficult to judge as people will be going against different criteria – one they have set themselves, but I will do my best to appreciate each poem for what it is meant to be.
