Contest Description

What to Submit?

Given the chance, what imaginary art piece would you leave on the moon? Using any poetic style/form of your choice, write a single Notional Ekphrasis poem on the subject of a Memento on the Moon—this is also the title of your poem.  Your poem must be between 10 to 15 lines.

Notional Ekphrasis involves 1. IMAGINARY ART (not yet completed or realised) brought to life through your literary skill, and 2. using evocative language (words and phrases that evoke strong emotions, images, or sensations in the reader) to express its significance to the poet.
