How bout we make a poetry contest every month or 2 other months?

I think a poetry contest might give some incentive for the poets here in MB, but it doesn't have to be poetry exclusively, it could be a short story contest, just a contest where you show your creative writing and compete with other creative writers here.

The voting can be done via a poll and the winner doesn't need a reward other than knowing that he won, also every contest can have a different theme, to add some variety and a challenge to the writers.

Running this event would be very easy too, all we need is a mod to make the thread each month and handle the submissions, he would post the poems submitted to him and that's it. the rest is done by the community..

OH, also each submission should be kept in anonymity until a winner is chosen, this way we can avoid personal favoritism and just focus on the piece.

i apologise if there is already a contest like this here, but if not, how bout we make one?
