Weekly Challenge Guidelines

Each week a member of the DMR community hosts a poetry challenge. Details are posted Monday in the forum topic. Results are posted the following Monday, on the same day that a new challenge begins.

The Prize

Winners' poems are posted on our home page for one week following the announcement of their victory. Names and titles of second place and honorable mention entries also appear.

Guidelines

1. Ideally, entries are new work, but older poems that fit the parameters of the challenge are acceptable as long as the entry has not been previously published.

2. Poets may post more than one entry unless the host stipulates otherwise.

3. Challengers are fully encouraged to workshop their entries. A post in the challenge area does not count toward the one poem maximum in the poetry workshop.

4. Poems entered in the challenge may be nominated for IBPC whether or not they have been posted for critique in the workshop.

5. Comments are welcome on poems in the challenge as long as such comments fall within the general standards of etiquette followed at DMR. See General Board Guidelines for details.
