sorry I have been kind of quiet lately guys ^^; but it's been a while so I think it's time for another contest. I would like to make this contest as big as possible :D

:bulletblack: The Theme:
the apocalypse. however you see it. zombie, nuclear, Ragnarok, Rapture, asteroid, whatever comes to your mind when you think Apocalypse. whether you write about how it all ends, what it's like being there, or just plain trying to survive it, I want to see how creative you can get! :zombie:

:bulletblack: Criteria:
you don't have to be a member of the group, but you might want to be so that you can keep up with updates and changes. Please put a link to the group and or this journal entry and mention the contest in the description of your entry. Your entry must fall under the poetry category(this is a poetry group) I will be pretty lenient though. The poem can be part of a picture or accompanied by a picture, but the poem has to be the main focus. your poem can be a short like a haiku or really long (just no epics like the Odyssey, if your poem is so long that it needs chapters you might want to cut back a bit) Your poem can rhyme but doesn't have to. Free verse is perfectly acceptable as long as it doesn't turn into prose.
:star: Correct grammar and spelling are important so check over your entry before you submit it, maybe even have someone proof read for you :star:

Only one entry is allowed per person, but you can change your entry if you think you've got something better. I would like for your entry to be new, but you can revise an old work for submission if you like.

:bulletblack: What Will You Be Judged on:
(by priority)
creativity and originality
grammar and spelling
presentation (what are you're stanzas like? do they read to long or to short? and do the words flow and encourage the reader to keep reading?)
word choice( this one doesn't factor quite as much as the others, but does it read like your vocabulary is limited? are you using words properly?)

:bulletblack: Deadline:
December 21st
that gives everyone roughly 5 months
I might give an extension if enough people ask but it shouldn't be necessary
Please submit your entry to the "Apocalyptic Contest" folder in this group (let me know if you have trouble submitting)

:bulletblack: What I Need From the Public
         right now I would like 4 people to volunteer as judges (if you are a judge you can not enter the contest). depending on how many entries there are I might need more judges but for now only 4. If you are interested in being a judge please either note group or me and put why you think you would make a good judge. you don't need to write anything elaborate, I just want to make sure I'm picking fair judges.
         I would also like to have the word of this contest spread. I would like as many entries as possible. so  :fave: this journal, write a journal with a link, just what ever you can to advertise the contest if you wish to help out (the more people the better the prizes)
         And lastly I need Prizes. I have points that I will be putting up as prizes and I will offer request drawings, but I need help from you guys. The more prizes the better. Also the more entries I receive the more points I will put in for prizes. the more prizes there are the more places there will be (4th, 5th, 6th, etc.)donate what ever you can :heart: you can still enter if you are a donor too. please note the group or me, or comment on this journal if you wish to donate. Thank you!
