Dear fellow poets, I am glad to announce that the submissions for
the 4th Dead Poets Society (Singapore) Poetry Writing Competition
is now officially open. Since this is the first time we are having
two categories and having gone through some major changes, there
wont be a theme for this competition. In another word, you are
free to choose your own theme, forms, etc.
Please read the following rules and regulations carefully.
[b]Rules and Regulations
1) You must be the original author of the poem(s). PLAGIARISM IS NO LAUGHING
MATTER.
2) Maximum of TWO submissions per
participant.
3) Submissions are strictly by pm
only. After the deadline, I will post all
submissions in a thread without the name of the authors.
Participants identities will only be revealed after the results
are out.
4) All submissions must be in latest by 18 September 2005,
Sunday.
5) Non-sgforums members are most welcome to participate.
On an additional note
there will be two categories in current and future
competitions.
In the Open
Category members of the public, i.e. you, will get
to vote for your favourite poems. The poem with the most votes will
be the winner for this category.
In the Judges Choice
Category members from the judging panel will select
a winning poem. The panel will consist of 2 3 local/overseas
poets and they will take turns in selecting the winning poem. Mr
Alvin Pang has kindly agreed to be the judge for the 4th DPS (S)
Poetry Writing Competition.
It is highly possible that the same poem is selected for both
categories.
I wish to clarify that if your poem is not selected in the Judges
Choice Category, it does not mean your poem is not good enough. The
judge has the right to select, in his opinion, the best poem among
the submissions.
For non-sgforums members, you can send your submissions via
email. My email address can be found at my profile (blog). Due to
security reasons, attachment will not be
entertained.
May the best poem win!
