The Epic Poetry Contest is in full swing. We're now into the second workshopping month with the final due date of May 31st fast approaching. Here are the current works in progress:

Since some of our original workshopping plans fell through for the Epic Poetry Contest, PoetryPlease is releasing a new mini contest open to all of deviantart during the month of April. This one is a Critique Contest.

The works-in-progress submitted by many of the epic poetry contest entrants are listed above and in the contest deviation. All you need to do is leave a critique on any deviation (you can critique as many as you want) then note us a link to your comment(s) with "Critique Contest" in the subject line. To get the link to your critique (not the link to the deviation), click on the time stamp of your comment and copy the URL of the new page it brings you to. You have until May 1, 2009 to submit your critique.

There will be prizes for the best critiquer, to be announced in the very near future! At the very least, the General Admin of PoetryPlease will commit to paying for a one year sub or a piece of merchandise/print of equal or lesser value. Worth taking a few minutes to help someone out? We think so!
