Walking in April and other poetic fun (Contests)

^lovetodeviate:iconlovetodeviate: reports, April 8
We're a week into April, and things are going great. 72 people have signed up write a poem a day, and you can still join in. (Details below.) `PoeticWar is reading the entries for the first weekly contest (Poetic Responses). There's a week more to wait before I allow entries for the Mini Chapbook Contest. Meanwhile, here's another weekly contest for you:

:sun: Week Two: Walking in April - Contest

Take a walk through any place (urban, rural, scary, scenic, whatever) you like, familiar or unfamiliar. Write down your impressions and then turn them into a poem.

:pointr: Post your poem as a new scrap or deviation.
:pointr: You can post the notes you made in the author's comments section if you like, but this is not necessary.
:pointr: Send me a link to the poem in a note titled "WALKING IN APRIL".

Deadline: midnight April 14 (GMT)

Prizes: Two 3-month subs or one 6-month sub (up to the judge) and a journal feature from ^lovetodeviate

Judge: `AbCat

Please note that you don't have to register to write a poem a day to take part in these contests, but it's great fun if you do.

:sun: Register to write a poem a day in April

To do this you need to:

:pointr: Note ^lovetodeviate with a yes and I will add you to my journal list. The subject line should be "REGISTER". Or you can simply reply to this news article with a yes. You can join late, no problem.
:pointr: Write a poem a day and try to post them as a scrap or deviation. You can be late, sure, but at the end of April you should have 30 poems posted.
:pointr: This is not necessary, but it would be great if you kept a journal with links to the poems you wrote in April for reference.

No deadline. 72 people have signed up for this. A full list can be found in my journal.

:sun: The Mini Chapbook Contest - Overall Contest

One of my favourite pastimes involves playing around with my poetry, arranging them in sequence, dreaming about how it would if I had a collection published...

So I thought it would be fun to have a mini chapbook contest. Not only is it fun, it also "will be good training for everyone in thinking of how their poems can relate to each other and build up into something greater than the sum of their parts," as the contest judge said. This should be good practice for anyone with plans to arrange a chapbook or full-fledged poetry collection in the future.

:pointr: After all the weekly contests, you will have an extra week to organise a mini chapbook. You can start preparing beforehand by thinking of a theme or concept, and also by registering to write a poem a day (details above). I will open this contest after week 2, when you will have written about 14 poems, but it's best to wait until the end of the month.
:pointr: The mini chapbook must have a minimum of 5 and a maximum of 10 poems, all from your individual April poetry collections. (This is where making a journal of all your April poems will come in handy for the judges and you.)
:pointr: You may edit and revise your poems using the Literature Workshop or any of the critique clubs on deviantART. The more revision, the better.
:pointr: Details about submission and judging criteria will come later.

Prizes: $50 and $25 deviantDOLLARS, and best of all, the top two mini chapbooks will get published online in the roundtable review

Judge: Editor of the roundtable review, ~jack-cade

:postit: Have fun writing!

If you have any questions, please note me (^lovetodeviate). Prize offerings and stamps are also accepted.

Please make use of #getLIT, the Poetry & Prose Forum, polls and journals to discuss poetry related discussions. It will make April even more interesting.

:new: Check out for Poem in Your Pocket Day, a project by ^GeneratingHype.
