Yes, Virginia, there is a December poetry contest. It's an official Literotica Poetry Forum December Contest in that a prize will be awarded the winner by our benevolent site owners, Laurel and Manu. No, it will not be a new car or an all-expense-paid week in Las Vegas (or wherever), but if you win it'll be all yours.
The theme is December. That's it. Write a poem about December. Many of you have already said things December means for you, so there's a thread-worth of ideas to tickle your muse. If nothing there strikes you, come up with something else.
Form or free verse is fine. No restrictions on length. No illustrated or multimedia submissions, just your words. One poem per poet. If you have alts, be honest and submit one poem under one name.
The poem that receives the most votes wins. All submissions should be pm'd to The Poets (that's Eve, Lauren, and me) by midnight PST on December 15, 2007. Each entry will be assigned a number and posted by number in a thread, so no one will know the authors (unless you snitch to each other).
Voting will take place via pm to The Poets. You must vote by midnight PST December 20, 2007 for your vote to be counted.
The top three vote-getters will then be posted in a finals round (we love to drag these things out) in which only those who submitted poems to the contest may vote. Final votes must be submitted by midnight PST, December 23, 2007.
Eve, Lauren and I will not submit poems and we won't vote unless there's a tie in the finals round. If that happens, the three of us will vote on the tied poems. The winner will be announced on December 24.
If you have any questions, you can pm The Poets or ask in this thread. All submissions should be pm'd to The Poets. Remember, do not post your entry here. We'll keep you updated with information in this thread, too.
Eve has promised to write a poem about dildos no matter what. She hates to disappoint.
Good luck and have fun! It's all about the poetry.
