Hello everyone and welcome to our first contest as a group! :wave: We've been semi-mysteriously hinting at this for a while now, so we hope you are all as excited we are that this day has finally come! Without further ado, please read below for the prompt and rules of our first contest if you are interested in entering.

Happy Writing! :typerhappy:



~ "Scripturient Scribbles" Contest ~


"scripturient," meaning "possessing a strong urge to write"


Open From:


August 4th - September 13th


Who Can Participate?


Everyone - PoetryForAll Members, Members of Affiliated Groups, and Non-Members!
Though we would especially love it if you would click that "join group" button while you're at it~ ;)


Contest Prompt:


Write about why you are a poet/poetess.

Try to be creative here! The judges are looking for more than just explicitly saying "I write poetry because." Helpful hint: Describe your feelings and scripturient passion while weaving the written word.


Rules:


:bulletred: You must include the word "photograph" somewhere in the piece! Pieces that chose not to include this will run the risk of not being considered in winner selections.
:bulletred: All genres are welcome, however any mature pieces need to be clearly and expressly labeled as such before they will be accepted.
:bulletred: Limited to 250 words or less.

Winner Selections:

All entries will be judged via a category/tally system to maintain fairness of judging (i.e. 1 to 5 points awarded for Originality, etc. such that the piece with the most overall points wins). More information on judging will be added to this journal as the end of the contest draws closer.
