Iron Poet VI
Welcome to Iron Poet, round six!
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 authors 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, I 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 5 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 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) I will rule on anything I have forgotten or needs clarification which is brought to my attention
14) The contestants will have 1 week (roughly) from the bracket posting to get their entries posted.

Re: Iron Poet VI
I'm not much of a poet at all, but this looks like fun.

Re: Iron Poet VI
Not about to touch this with a ten-foot pole. I have become Iron Cancer, and I won't poison another contest with my presence.
If you find yourself short of contestants or judges, please look elsewhere.

Alarra, would it help if I prayed in front of an altar made out of solid gelatine, with your name written on it out of chocolate pudding, and with your signs on it made out of whipped cream?٩๏̯͡๏)۶

Re: Iron Poet VI
I dunno, there would only be 1st and 2nd place, the two finalists. Maybe just say something like Iron Poet # (in form of VI, etc) and then Winner: Second place, but all in circle form, with the IP stamp in the middle and the winner thing circling along the edge. Also if possible I'd like to make them available retroactively to all previous winners in the former IP contests, so make multiple ones with different #'s. Thanks if this works out.
But first, we need CONTESTANTS. (and judges)Last edited by Vaynor; 2008-10-28 at 12:54 AM.
