*LI Poetry Contest '09*

[Re.TiReD]

:D :D

:D :D



Deadline : 10th November

PM your entries to me

No set theme but should be Islamic :D

Any Questions...? :D :D

If not...

Ready....Set....

!!!! :D

:D

[IbnAbdulHakim]

Im in this one for sure!!!


what are the rules? any theme?

[Re.TiReD]

^ AssalamuAlaykum, awesome! :D

No theme, no rules insha'Allah.

PM me once ur done, once deadline is up they'll be posted in a thread and judged by the public (public poll) ... Only rule is during that time you musnt give away which entry is urs, JazakAllah khayr! :D

A tip: There isnt a word limit but just stick to a poem of moderate length, too short = not a lot of substance and too long = readers lose interest.

Hope that helps!

Wassalam

Haha! What?! May I ask for mine to be hidden from public eyes pleeeaaassseeeee!!!!! I wrote it at a very very late hour in like five minutes!! Please Hafsah!!

[IbnAbdulHakim]

its unfair for entries to be hidden !


whats the point of having a contest if people cant appreciate the entries?

[sevgi]

Some would argue that it is unfair for entries to be revealed...

[Re.TiReD]

Dang, sorry I thought I had written in the opening post that judging was poll-based. The authors names will not be included anyway so isnt that ok Sevgi? You can remain anonymous even after voting is over if u wish. The entrants names are not included whilst voting is ongoing so as to eliminate bias.

Ok, how about I dont reveal any of the names save the one who comes 1st?

Unless you're ok with being named now....

[sevgi]

To be honest, I think having the names hidden would make the competition more interesting. People will be voting without bias and the person who comes last wont be humiliated.

[Re.TiReD]

Last min entries to be in by 3pm, thats when I'll be posting them insha'Allah.

[ajnabee]

:sl:

yay! :D as sad as this may sound, i been looking forward to today :embarrass
