Submission Process
If te wish to invia a poem to the contest, please send me a private message which includes your poem in full, and "Poetry Contest Submission" in the title. On November 24th, I will gather up all of the submissions and post them in a single soapbox where they will be able to be viewed altogether. Instead of your user name residing successivo to your work, te will be assigned a number (such as "Contestant Number 4") which will be based on the order in which I received the poems.
I will always reply to let te know I have received your poem. If there are any problems with your submission (IE, it doesn't relate to the theme), then I will let te know. Your poem will not be included until te fix these problems. If I respond, "Submission Received," it means that your poem has been included in the soapbox and te don't need to do anything else.
Judging and Voting
On December 1st, when everyone has had a chance to review the poems, I will ask a panel of judges to confer amongst themselves and eliminate all but five poems. These five poems will then be put up to a vote da the Fanpopulation in the form of a pick, asking users to vote for contestants based solely on the quality of their work, and not their user names o who they are Friends with.
The only person who will know the true authors will be me, and I will not participate in this vote (though I will participate in the contest, burying my submission somewhere in between all the others). When the pick is closed on December 10th, I will announce the winner.
