Voting period is CLOSED
The entries have been posted, so please make your way to the Hallowed Hall of Poetry to view and assess this year's offerings.
SCHEDULE
Voting begins: Monday, April 18
Voting closes: MAY 1, 11:59 pm, US Central
WINNERS ANNOUNCED: MAY 2JUDGING Voting is open to all Legendfirians! Every contestant is REQUIRED to vote.
Unless excused for serious reasons, contestants must vote on all entries. You will receive 2 reminders of this requirement 1 week and again 3 days prior to the end of the voting period. If you do not vote on ALL entries, your entry will be disqualified.
Please follow these steps:
1. Judge each entry according to the following questions. Answer them as thoroughly as possible. Two sentences minimum per question. See the Resources below if you need help critiquing the poems.
NOTE: voters who leave one-liner critiques to justify their vote will receive warnings according to our warning system. The purpose of commenting is to help writers improve their writing, so be thorough, please.
Technical writing elements: Which elements were technically sound in this entry? What still needs work?
Artistic writing elements: What appealed to me in this entry? What might benefit from revision?
Prompt: How well does this entry relate to the prompt?
2. After answering these questions, assign each area a numerical value: Rate each entry from 1 to 5, with five being the most favorable.
3. Add your scores and divide by 3 to get an average score. For example: 3.5 + 3 + 4 = 3.5 (The contest host will collect all the average scores for each entry and tally the averages to determine the winners.)
* You may vote for yourself to maintain your anonymity. This vote will not count toward the final score.
* All entries must have the same number of votes for each vote to count. For example, if over half the entries receive 7 votes, we will set the final vote requirement to 7 votes per entry.
RESOURCES
ALL CONTESTANTS! Remember to award yourself 100 Hard Honor Points for submitting an entry.

Yay! I'm finally getting a chance to sit still and read these entries. I think I'll post all my crits/votes at once. Best of luck, everyone!  |

Aw, no way! That's freaking awesome. I might register and try to swing by after my lecture is over.
I'm hoping to cram through all my critiquing this weekend. Done a once over of all our amazing entries, but this week has been a scramble for my brain. Too much going on! But I won't forget.

Also, I'm falling behind in my voting. Dang it. I'm also supposed to write a 100 word contest entry for NYCmidnight this weekend, so crossing fingers I get the last few poems critted in time. (This is WHAT I GET for procrastinating.  ) |

Whew, just got my crits posted. Circumstances are causing issues for some of our poets. How is everyone doing? ONE MORE DAY AND A BIT to complete critting and voting. "A bit" is an official measurement of an undetermined amount of time, just so you know.  |

I've got one more critique to write up and then I'm finished! Was going strong this morning and then lost 3 hours trying to get a flat tire back up and running. (Damn things have been low for 6 months! 6 months my irresponsible butt has been driving on low tires, and yesterday, I finally decided to air them up at the gas station and guess what happens? One of the valve stem cores locks open and all the air leaks out overnight.)
Probably post two tonight and the rest tomorrow.
