An amazing contest: CV2’s 2 Day Poetry Contest
OK, I’ve been wanting to set up something like this for a long time. Contemporary Verse 2, or CV2 is running a two day contest. You pre-register by March 28th. OnApril 5th all entrants are given a list of ten words, and have 48 hours to write a poem using those ten words. How awesome is that? Tell your friends! It’s a great thing. No more than 48 lines, also, so for those of us who typically write shorter poems, ahem, we don’t have to worry about losing due to sheer volume (or lack thereof).
It’s a $10 fee, first prize is $350, Second $175, Third gets $90 (but not publication).
