Contest and Challenge Info

For those of our membership that enjoy challenges, we have at least two a month.

Rules--
You may only submit one poem to each challenge at a time.
You must submit your poem via NOTE, as a link to the deviation.
Challenge winners are featured in a journal, and given the spotlight on our shoutboard.

Form challenges will consist of you being assigned a form each month, and writing on any topic, in that form. You'll be given two forms a month. This is a change! Since we have had very little interest in "themes" we'll go with forms and give you a variety each month.

At the end of the contest period, we as a group will vote for the poem we feel is the best example of the forms. The winners will be featured in the journal AND the shoutboard.

Winners!

We'll have new winners after the 13th of this month for the Haiku Challenge. Stay tuned!

Write-Ups
If you want to do an official write-up on any forms with a specified rhyme scheme, meter, and/or repetition, please note poetic-forms.  Suggestions on forms for others to write up are welcome.

The write-ups should contain a brief history of the form, perhaps an example, and a full description of the rhyme scheme, meter, common themes, etc. You will receive a next to your name for accepted form write-ups.

Newest Write-ups:
Rondel/Rondel Prime by curiosity - Coming Soon!
