Usually, I intend to end my contests with the solstice but I'm running a little late, so this Summer I am starting the poetry contest with the solstice.
This is going to run more or less concurrently with the July-August short story contest, but I don't think that will be a problem. There is enough writing talent on this forum to spread between two contests and I'm sure a great many forumites will submit short stories and poems this Summer.
I don't know about the rest of you throughout the world, but in my area, Summer is hitting unusually hot, unusually early. We'll see if the heatwave induced by mighty Chotec can heat up people's poet muses.
The Theme
There is none. Choose whatever theme you like so long as it is at least somewhat related to Lizardmen, Seraphon, Salamanders or Saurian Ancients.
There is an unofficial theme to make this Summer and/or Chotec focused, but that is a recommendation, not a requirement.
The Rules
There are none. (Apart from the following)(So in actual fact there are some rules, I lied to you, I am sorry)
-Keep your poem to an artistic minimum. Word count wont be stressed about too much in here, but ideally the poem should be more than two lines.
-Keep it anonymous. Don't use your own name in the poem or use someone else's name throw them off the scent
-Keep Lizardmen in the story or some aspect of their world / lore.
-Keep visuals and images to a minimum or none at all this is a poetry competition.
-Keep em coming
-Multiple entries are allowed from the same person!
(limit of three per person though just for sanity's sake)
-Submission deadline is August 2nd, noon US central time. To submit, please send a private message to me, Scalenex.
The next poetry contest will bein mid December, give or take a few weeks.
