Iron Poet X
Welcome to Iron Poet, Round Ten!!
Rules
1) Only the first 16 respondants expressing a desire to compete will be the contestants. It IS a first come, first served basis.
2) The contest will consist of a number of rounds pitting 2 randomly determined poets against each other until only one contestant remains (winner).
3) Each matchup will be given a theme, picture, article, subject, or other criteria to write on, and the poem submitted must match this as much as possible. Stricter following of prompts may help you win.
4) The winner as determined by a panel of judges will advance to the next round.
5) In case of a judge or judges not posting judgments in a timely manner, Vaynor will adjudicate and determine the winner.
6) The poems will be limited to 1000 words with a 50 word minimum
7) The entries will be poems. All forms of poetry are acceptable, as long as they meet the required word lengths. If your chosen style is too short, you are free to make two of them, i.e., you may make a limerick with 48 words, then add another limerick, still following the same theme, to reach the required word length.
8) All posted deadlines will given in as much time zones as possible, as labeled.
9) No late entries will be accepted. If you don't post or fail to post by the deadline, you will be disqualified. A 15 minute grace period is allowed. You have one freebie per contest, use it wisely. This allows you to be up to half a day late (12 hours) with your poem (no more).
10) If your entry does not include the article(s) and the picture(s), you will most likely lose because of it, however this will not disqualify your poem, as poems are judged on best use of the prompts.
11) The judgments are final. What the judges decide is how it is.
12) The entries will only include content suitable for the Playground.
13) Anything not clear will be decided by me.
14) The contestants will have 1 week (roughly) from the bracket posting to get their entries posted.
15) Post your poems in spoilers. Judges: do not read poems before the round ends.
16) Feel free to edit the post with your poem in it until the round ends. After that, any additional edits will disqualify you (barring a use of your half-day extension).
17) Judges have 1 week to complete judgments. If not all judges respond by this time, the round will be decided as if the late judges were not a part of it (i.e. if there are 5 judges to begin with and only 3 are on time, the round will be decided with 2 votes as opposed to 3). If there are only an even number of judgments, I will cast the remaining vote.

Re: Iron Poet X
I shall compete (as a contestant) because judging is extremely hard work! (Not that writing isn't).

I fear I may have scared away all the judges with my post.

Re: Iron Poet X
Well I meant the other two-four potential judges (although hopefully they will soon become ex-potential judges).

Re: Iron Poet X
There are still two competitor spots available. But you can judge, I don't mind.

Re: Iron Poet X
Ech, I'll be a contestant.
They looked to me once. Now they turn to you. Do you understand now?
Do you see that the truth is they don't want to change this?
They don't want a hero. They just want a martyr, a statue to raise
I've given every thing I can. There are no heroes left in man.

Re: Iron Poet X
I think I'll take the last contestant's spot, then. Although if anyone else shows up at the last minute wanting to compete, I'd be happy to try my hand at judging instead.

Re: Iron Poet X
We need some more judges, everyone! Let's get this thing started!

Re: Iron Poet X
I forgot how this thing sort of just inches forward, but for how much it causes my creative juices to flow, and me to push myself, it's totally worth it.
