Hi everyone! Long time no update from me. Oh yeah, I've been busy these past days. Anyway, friends, I am going to host a poetry contest in our own language, Filipino, by May. Whilst thinking how to do that on Facebook, one thing popped out in my mind. Wanna try running also an English Poetry Contest here! But I don't know if that would not go against the terms and regulations of the site. What are your thoughts, friends?

It would be P500 ($10) for first place, P300 ($6) goes to second place, P100 ($2) for third place and P20 ($.0.10) worth of load for three consolation prizes. This is weekly poetry contest, to be open soon this May.

It's done in Mylot by way of a challenge. Members ask other members to write a poem with certain conditions, like using a particular word or phrase, subject matter or a poem genre. Here is a link of a recent poetry challenge I join: You can post your poem in the comment section of the challenger's post or make a post of your own like I did.

Please read the Guidelines and, if you have any specific questions, send a PM to @GoAskAlice, the Admin. It is really no use asking other members. myLot is a discussion site, so anything which doesn't (in Admin's view) count as a discussion is very likely to be removed.

I strongly believe that this post is considered a helpful discussion to most members. I already did read the guidelines and sent private message to the admin. BTW, thanks for dropping by.
