 |  | POETRY IN RHYME - RHYTHM CONTEST-winner  [E] A monthly contest for formal poetry in rhyme and meter.  |
| (4.5)| Hallo Dr M C Gupta ! I will be reviewing your work "POETRY IN RHYME - RHYTHM CONTEST-winner" for "Game of Thrones"  Content: Created on October 1st, 2005, this is a monthly contest that encourages writers to submit their best formal poems in rhyme and meter. Pluses: Clearly a lot of thought went into the creation of this contest with the link you've provided that shows a detailed explanation on the reasoning behind it - "DETAILED BACKGROUND OF MY POETRY CONTEST" . I'm sure those who were a part of it appreciated the effort that went into your reasons because it's clear that your love for poetry was paramount. You are clearly not one for 'decorations' as there are no header images or even use of emoticons to make it a bit more appealing. Not that it's necessary as we can all see from the number of posts/submissions, this was still a very popular activity. The contest requires an 'entry fee' which is that you were required to review an item from the host's port. Well, that is one way of getting folks to go browsing through your portfolio. Nice! There's also no prompt for this. Hmm. Only requirement was that the poem had to follow whatever form the writer chose for their entry. Seems fair enough. If you're going to be writing a Clerihew, then make sure it fits that form. Old or new items could be submitted. You could edit those items until time for judging, but here's a rare catch, if revised edits are made after judging, you can ask the host to re-review the item. How's that for second opportunities? The prizes were quite generous - especially for the time it was created - though I wonder the prize gps decreased after round 60? My only critique is the listing of the donors in this way that takes up so much room. However, when I remember that all the current dropnote links etc. were not available at the time, I can understand your reasoning for doing this. Still a separate link just for donations would have sufficed as well. To show just how popular the contest was, it was even featured in several newsletters, all of which are listed at the bottom of the forum.   Though this closed a long time ago, it showed how active and beneficial you were to promoting writers/poets within the Writing.com community. Thanks for creating the forum, and keep on writing!
