Suggestion: Regarding Competition

DeadPoet SG

Dear friends,

As you know, we organized two poetry writing competition every year during Apr/May (Announcement & Submissions/ Voting & Results) and Oct/Nov. However, according to some feedbacks, these periods are not a good time as they clash with the examinations.

In view of this may I have some suggestions from you guys? I am thinking of Feb/Mar and Sep/Oct instead. Or maybe we organized once instead of twice a year?

What do you think? Thanks. Very Happy

hmm.maybe extending the closing time would do the trick?

anyway...pperhaps right...to encourage more entries,more themes can be included for each competition?

expiringpoet SG

Once a year sounds just right Smile Can't have too much of a good thing!

DeadPoet SG

Occasionally we do organized competitions without any particular theme. But I thought it is easier to write with theme?

DeadPoet SG

Hmm. Once a year...

Let me think about it. Wink

DeadPoet SG

Dear friends, so how about Feb/Mar and Sep/Oct?

Studies has shown that people are generally either more depressed or very joyous (from drunkenness?) in December.

Either state should induce people to write more, becos it's generally believed that people tend to express themselves more when they're very happy or very depressed.

DeadPoet SG

Most of the exams in Dec over right?

DeadPoet SG

In that case what about Jan/Feb & Jul/Aug? Will most of you be free to write? Very Happy

Not a bad idea, because it will be at the end of the holidays. Laughing

That's the start of the either semester in NUS/NTU.

I support this motion. I can't join the competition right now - not with project deadlines to meet and exams in four weeks' time. Confused

DeadPoet SG

Thanks for the info.

So I guess Jan/Feb & Jul/Aug should be a good time to held our competitions. What about our friends from other schools? Are you comfortable with the date? Very Happy
