Anime Posted December 8, 2006 Share Posted December 8, 2006 Hey folks, All rightie, the second Christmas event is a WINTER POEM CONTEST! Guidelines: It doesn't need to rhyme, and even limmericks are allowed, in our Short Poem category. It MUST BE ORIGINAL. It should be Christmas/Winter/Holiday themed. Extra points if you can manage that without any winter or Christmas words like "Christmas" or "snow", but still convey the holidays theme...be inventive! All entries need to be sent to me by PM by 25 December. There is no maximum or minimum word limit, and when you submit, you agree for them to be reproduced elsewhere. You need at least 50 posts to enter. The winner will be announced on New Years Day. Interestingly, poems that include multiculturalisms - such as comparison of religions, or whatever, or include another language (that can be translated) will add bonus points, for our Most Thought About category. There WILL be prizes. One for the Best Poem, plus two runners up; one for best Short Poem/Limmerick; and one for Most Indepth and Deep - for all you deep writers out there :) In addition, there's the Most Thought About category. Got that? Get writing! Good luck folks :) We look forward to reading all your poetry...just try, even if you're not We ask that you don't post your poems...people look and take a litle too much "inspiration"!

Awesome_Paul Posted December 8, 2006 Share Posted December 8, 2006 are we going to vote for each others or are the mods voting? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ellie_Penguin Posted December 8, 2006 Share Posted December 8, 2006 I think it would be nice if the MODS vote, that way it won't be like a "popularity" contest and can be judged fairly. That's what I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
