We had a writing contest at the beginning of this year and we had announced that there will be a poetry contest sometime later. But due to lack of activity on the forum, we kept postponing it.
If there is enough interest, we can go ahead and host a contest now. So are you interested in participating?
Vote above on the poll or simply post a reply below.
Update:
The contest has already started a few days ago. Keep sending your entries by PM to me. Here are a few guidelines copied from a previous contest, with a few additions/updates:
So here's the deal...
1) PM you poem to me 2) You have until the 15th20th of November 2017 (extended until 20th of November) 3) You can write about anything at all Insha'Allah, as long as there is nothing anti-Islamic 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 () if you plagiarise. It must be your own work. No copying and no translating existing poems from other languages 8) The most important thing is other members not knowing which poem is yours...
Other than that, get PM'ing me insha'Allah

Reason: update + extension
And verily for everything that a slave loses there is a substitute, but the one who loses Allah will never find anything to replace Him.” [Related by Ibn al-Qayyim in ad-Dâ' wad-Dawâ Fasl 49]
Yes, we can go ahead and start it now as we have at least 8 members willing to participate. Is there anyone willing to host the competition? Or you can simply send your entries to me by PM.
I think we can fix the last date for submission as 15 November 2017.
We got our fist entry for the contest today. Keep sending your entries by PM to me. Here are a few guidelines copied from a previous contest, with a few additions/updates:

We used to give out rep points as prize. This year I am planning to get Amazon gift voucher for the winner .
It might just be me but - I think the second option outweighed the first.
Questions:
1. Who are the Judges ?
2. What criteria is used to judge?
3. Are we allowed to discourage others from entering so that ....well...the contestants are fewer hence the chance of winning is greater ?

Count me in!
Full members with more than 6 green bars are not allowed to enter the competition - sorry.
1. Judges are the members of IslamicBoard, those who are not participating. Once we get all the entries, we post them anonymously on a separate thread with a poll, asking everyone to vote for the best entry.
2. Everyone has their own perspective.
3. No, encourage everyone to participate.
Who said I was planning on entering. and what..scared of a lil competition?
As you said in your very own words...All you are is "LIL competition"
And brother
@AabiruSabeel
is rather busy with other things and has designated me, as in I, as in "Not You" as in specifically "NOT you" to design the RULE Book for the competition.
We are planning to have a competition for minors should you wish to enter.

Correction, I'd be considered NO competition since I'm NOT entering. But even a lil competition from others seems to intimidate you yes even if it's just a little.

Will be awaiting your rules. Don't disappoint. All eyes are on you now.

Yes, that's right. I mean, why not? I much prefer it if you are ready to be the host as well. We can ask everyone to send their entries to you. You won't be able to participate yourself then.
