New poetry competition

Okay last competition was a small succes, so here's a new one
This time the rules are slightly different.

The prize this time will be a t-shirt or top with your own poem printed on it. Obviously this has it's consequences for the length of the poem but I'll explain that in the rules.

1) It has to be a new poem written especially for this competition. That means it can't be online somewhere else (a blog for instance).
2) The poem has to be sent to me in a word file in the font you'd like it to be printed and it has to fit on one A4 page, the size is up to you but keep in mind that it'll be printed on the shirt in the size it's on the A4 (if you don't have word just let me know and we'll work smtg out).
3) The end date of the competition is July 31st midnight GMT any entries later than that will not be included. The winner will be announced in the following week.
4) I want at least 5 entries or the competition will be cancelled and you are allowed to enter up to 3 different poems per person.
5) There will be at least one other judge and I will try to find a third one, they will not see who wrote what poem to make sure all poems are judged equally.
6) The poem has to be written in english, I know this is an advantage for some but I have to make this rule or it'll be hard to compare the poems to each other.

Those are the rules, if something isn't clear don't hesitate to comment or message me

Last but not least, the theme. This time I decided to go with a theme in stead of words. This time I chose for 'abandonment'. Maybe not the most original theme but definitely one you can work with from different angles.

I am very much looking forward to your entries

EXTENDED DEADLINE You've now got till septembet 1 to send in your entries!

YES!! I'm so in.

I might enter more than one poem this time.

awesome, the more people enter the better

I'm looking forward to reading the poems to judge.

Next round I'll make sure I enter again ...maybe, depends.

Only one week left and I'm still some entries short :\ if I don't get enough entries the competition's off I'm afraid

I'm entering now, I'm writing it, although I'll be last though.

Btw, should I PM it to you or should I send it to emily so she can send it to you through msn?

edit: I don't have word, does that mean I can't enter?

you can pm it to me and if you win we can work smtg out for font and stuff

Ah okay, I'll try to send it tommorow then, still working on it.

Because I'm still a few entries short I decided to give you guys a bit longer, apparently tht theme's harder than I though it was. You've now got until september 13 (which is a lot of extra time)

How many more entries do you "need", Tessa?

I can write another one.

Sorry Tessa but I'm going to lock this one as there's a new competition.
