PoetryBattle's "Battle of Opposition" Contest!

*PoetryBattles:iconPoetryBattles: reports, July 23, 2007
*PoetryBattles is getting ready to kick start its rebirth, and what better way than by hosting a contest! Before we go into details on the contest, you may be wondering just what *PoetryBattles is.

Here's the rundown:


The Battles:
*PoetryBattles is a lit-based project set in a chatroom. We use a word, a quote, a theme, a picture, or anything else we can think of to inspire two poets to write. We give them a set time limit and let their creative juices flow! The poems are submitted straight into the chat for our staffed judges to pick the best one.


Types of Battles:
We have two types of battles: Official Battles and Unofficial Battles also known as Exhibition Battles. Official Battles are used to advance your rank, whereas Unofficial Battles are for practice or fun.


The Workshop:
We will also have a workshop for Battle produced poems, so that the rough edges of our scribbled insta-poetry can be revised into poems worthy of confident showcasing!


Now to the contest

We've got the history lesson out of the way, so here are the contest details:

The Theme

“A subject for a great poet would be God's boredom after the seventh day of creation.” by Friedrich Nietzsche. **

Friedrich Nietzsche did a nice job presenting us poets with this quote. For the first part of the contest, you will need to write a poem based around this quote of any length and format.

But, that's just the start of things!

Once you've finished that poem, you have to write a contrasting poem based over the following topic:

"...God's boredom after the seventh day of creation...and why he will eventually choose to destroy it..." **


The Prizes


:bulletred: First Place: 3 month Sub, Issue of Mimesis 2, Journal/News Feature, Rank Advancement.

:bulletred: Second Place: 1 month Sub, Journal/News Feature, Rank Advancement.

:bulletred: Third Place: 1 month Sub, Journal/News Feature.


Submission Rules

:bulletred: Include both poems in a single deviation and note *PoetryBattles with your submission with "Contest" as the subject.

:bulletred: There are no regulations regarding format or length, so be creative!

:bulletred: Deadline for submissions will be 12:00am CST on August 23rd. *PoetryBattles will open for full operation when the winners are announced!


For more information about *PoetryBattles please pay a visit to the page and browse the journals! Oh, and we are currently accepting staff applications as well!

Good luck to all!

**These are in no way meant to present religious beliefs, but merely to inspire the writers and to base a contest over.

:iconcut-devil4:
This will be a strain, but I will do it.

I apologise in advance if I write anything that is extremely hurtful to anyone religious.

I'd apply for staff, but I am afraid that I am extremely biased when it comes to poetry, if it isn't written in a way that I like, no matter how good it is, I just wont like it = P

To the man who loves, love well my dear friend, love them with all your heart, for you will never know when tomorrow might come.
:iconpoetrybattles:
