Check out this new raffle supporting this contest "Raffle For Writers" 

I love contests!  I just can't stand waiting for weeks, even months for the results.  I have come to the conclusion that I should stop my whining about waiting for results and do something. I have decided to dedicate myself to this daily contest, announcing daily winners on a weekly basis! New! I will now be announcing one weekly winner every week along with the daily winners.



Poetry only.

  Rating content can be up to 18+, nothing over this. 

  No erotica please.

  Submit the poem in bitem form. Find out how to use bitem in this link."BITEM FORMAT - Made Easy" 

Submit the poem ready to be judged, no editing once submitted.

40 line max, no minimum. Please list line count in entry forum.

Each day will have multiple prompts. Click on the dropnote for the day to see the prompts. Each entry must be entered on or prior to 11:59PM WDC to count for that day. The new round begins at 12:00 AM WDC time. 

You are not required to enter everyday to enter the contest. The rounds are daily.

When posting an entry, make sure that it follows one of the prompts for the current day. For example, if the day is 10/24, then you should only use a prompt from 10/24. Hence, you cannot post an entry for a previous day or a future day.

Do Not edit the post/forum after you have submitted your item. If you feel you need to edit the post/forum you Must email me and let me know that you are going to do so. If you do not notify me, your entry may be disqualified and deleted.

Only one poem per person per round (day). New or old poems are welcome. Poems awarded by other contests are also welcome. However, you can only submit the poem once to this contest. Do Not submit the same poem multiple times.

Please mention Prompt or the form or rhyme scheme of your poem in the forum or bottom of poem (ex. Prompt 3 or abab or Shakespearean Sonnet or free verse, etc.).

The daily winners will be announced every Saturday. I will also be announcing the weekly grand prize winner at this time.

Judging Judging Judging Judging Judging

Every Saturday, I will reveal the winners of each day from the prevous week. Then, I will award a merit badge to the best poem of the entire week.

I will judge throughout the week; therefore, you must submit your poems edited and ready to be judged.

I will be judging how well the poem fits its form of poetry. If it requires meter, I will be judging meter. If it requires rhyme, I will be judging rhyme.

I will be judging content, texture, and clairity. I will judge overall meaning and its effectiveness.

I will be judging grammar and punctuation. Punctuation is very important to poetry, it can change the meaning and the impact of the poem. I will be looking at the punctuation as the writer intended it to be. Meaning if the writer intended to write a poem with end stops, caesuras and enjambments, then I will judge according to that style. However, if a poem has natural punctuation, I will judge that style.
