LI Poetry Contest II

[Re.TiReD]

:salamext:

OK from the following thread: (http://www.islamicboard.com/general/...ml#post1016198).. we have established that there shall be a poetry contest insha'Allah :) (The poll was just there for show btw, this shall go ahead no matter how many fish oppose it :p)

So here's the deal...

1) PM you poem to me
2) You have until the 10th of October
3) You can write about anything at all Insha'Allah
4) please do not share your entry with anybody (that should go without saying)
5) there is no need to advertise the fact that you are entering insha'Allah
6) No encouraging friends to vote for you insha'Allah
7) You shall be disqualified (:shade:) if you plagiarise
8) The most important thing is other members not knowing which poem is yours...

Other than that, get PM'ing me insha'Allah :D

PM your poem to sis JolieFleur, and please avoid spamming this thread, unless you have questions. Jazaak Allaah Khayr.

[Re.TiReD]

Ima just bump this up coz Im making an addition to the 1st post Insha'Allah

[------]

:salamext:

MashaaAllaah nice rules!

[Nájlá]

is this only for one week and thats it it stops?

i think we should do it every week and sis jolie could make a new thread and each post she puts all the poems for this week and then another post with all the next weeks poems.

[Ali.]

Who decides which is the winning one?

[------]

:salamext:

The poll decides the winning post, after a weeks worth of votes.

[Re.TiReD]

Sis do you mind explaining that further? :D

The poll akhee :D

Nah, give it a break for abit, coz people have other stuff to do as well.

[Nájlá]

Sis do you mind explaining that further? :D

soo basically do it every week or month?

[------]

:salamext:

Every 1/2 months sounds good.

[Ali.]

:salamext:

The poll akhee :D

OK.

And also, is there a reason for not displaying the members names on their poems if you insha'Allah get some and post them?

[Re.TiReD]

soo basically do it every week or month?

Oh I get you, its a good idea but people might get sick of it....*coughlikethehotseatscough* :p :-[ lol so maybe next time we can do summin else, like a broad writing contest and not just a poetry one?

[------]

:salamext:

^ @ Ali - Yeh there is lol, people will vote depending on who wrote the poem instead of the poem's quality, maybe. Biasness innit!

[Ali.]

:salamext:

^ @ Ali - Yeh there is lol, people will vote depending on who wrote the poem instead of the poem's quality, maybe. Biasness innit!

:wasalamex

Right, OK, I thought so.

Thanks sis' Jolie & sis' Serene. We'll see what happens then insha'Allah!

[Re.TiReD]

:salamext:

^ @ Ali - Yeh there is lol, people will vote depending on who wrote the poem instead of the poem's quality, maybe. Biasness innit!

:thumbs_up

People might be tempted to vote for their friends or bias towards members they dislike :|

JazakAllah khayr bro Ali :D

[Re.TiReD]

:bump:

[Na7lah]

hmm are we still sending you the poems? if so i'm gona have to start thinking of something to write bout...

[------]

:salamext:

Yup we are. The deadline is 10th October InshaAllaah, sis Jolie's made all the rules clear in first post

[Re.TiReD]

Yup yup, send send :D

[Re.TiReD]

:bump:

Some good entries so far masha'Allah keep em coming :D

[Re.TiReD]

3 days to go before you must send in your subfishions....erm I mean submissions :-[ You have until midnyt on Friday the 10th :shade: and if you live out of the UK...you have until I make the thread/poll ;p

Ok thats unfair on others, but basically, just be quick! ;p

[Cabdullahi]

sister im abit skeptical on how the poll will work,those who are popular and have many friends will be in the forefront even if their entry is as good as a nursery rhyme and those who produce something sick but are not that popular their stuff will be overlooked,but inshallah i hope everybody stays true and there's no cheating,this is an islamic forum and people should read all the entries and study them for 30 mins max and then give a fair judgement whether the person is a close friend or an enemy

peace

[Pen Marks]

well you won't really kno who submitted right?

[Güven]

its anonymous there wont be names on it innit ?

:w:

[Cabdullahi]

is it?

[Pen Marks]

if we're doing it the same way as the sis section, then sis Jolie is gona post the poems without telling who wrote it then we vote wich poem we like

[Re.TiReD]

:salamext: Bro...

Akhee, nobody knows who has entered apart from me. Nobody knows which poem belongs to whom apart from me. I'm not going to tell anybody and neither will I vote...that way I wont be inclined to vote for friends.

I've posted the rules too, and the rules dictate that you cannot and must not tell anybody which post is yours and you will not encourage others to vote for you.

And if you fear Allah, you will stick by them rules. And if anybody hasnt I'll take their entry out right away.

Erm hope that makes sense :-[

[Cabdullahi]

^ okie dokie

[Re.TiReD]

:salamext:

I just want to say JazakAllahu Khayran for all the entries, masha'Allah they are fab.

I dont have the time to reply to your PM's individually, so this post is acknowledgement and receipt of your entry.

Keep em coming insha'Allah

WassalamuAlaykum

[Re.TiReD]

You have till tomorrow people.

How long do you think the poll should last?

[Na7lah]

a week?

[Re.TiReD]

a week?

Hmmm, ok JazakAllah sis.

Although I was thinking 3/4/5 days?

[------]

:salamext:

5 Days.

[Re.TiReD]

:wasalamex

JazakAllah khayr, I think we'll have to think more about that.

Reminder: You have until midnight tomorrow insha'Allah

[Na7lah]

[Re.TiReD]

[Re.TiReD]

:salamext:

[FatimaAsSideqah]

Okies see you on tomorrow, Insha'Allah!

*Wubs*

[Re.TiReD]

:salamext: people

Ahem, online at Fajr/sehri time, I'd never have thought it :phew

last night I dreamt that I'd received 2 more poems entries and thats exactly what I received just now, masha'Allah :D

Still waiting for one from a certain someone though :mmokay:

Just came on to say really, that I'll make the poll thread sometime before Iftaar today insha'Allah, thats like 6.30pm GMT...being the weekend I cant really get on earlier. Sorry people!

Sabrun Jameel and JazakAllah khayr for all entries! :D

WassalamuAlaykum

[Re.TiReD]

:salamext:

Entires submitted, thats it now...

Just to reiterate for those who participated.

NO Voting for yourself

NO funny business in PM's (Telling others to vote for you)

NO making it obvious which poem is yours

YES to fearing Allah in all matters and making sure this thing goes well.

I may be taking this a little too seriously but this started off with good intentions and I aint gunna let it get messed up just because some fish decide that they cant keep their mouths shut and let this competetion remain fair.

Oh and ... 2 entries were taken out upon request. :)

All the best to all the fishlings

WassalamuAlaykum

*off to make poll insha'Allah*
