Introducing The 'Pocalypse Poetry Challenge! Two $10 SBD Prizes! [Season 1]
Hello beautiful and creative Steemians!
@HopeHuggs, @SuperBuckles, and myself will be hosting a STEEM-POCALYPSE poetry challenge and contest!
How it works:
--You do not have to participate in STEEM-POCALYPSE.
--Every single day during STEEM-POCALYPSE, you write a poem based on/inspired by that day's scenario in the game post by @Papa-Pepper.
--Poems must be between 8-50 lines.
--The very last poem must include the winner(s) of STEEM-POCALYPSE.
-- @HopeHuggs, @SuperBuckles, and myself will be rotating who posts the 'Pocalypse Poetry Challenge and Contest, so make sure to pay attention and not to miss a single post!
How To Win and Prizes
--Daily Winners: Every day the three judges will pick their favorite poem from that day and all three will resteem it.
--Grand Prize: The person that writes a poem for every day of STEEM-POCALYPSE will receive a $10 SBD prize. In the event that multiple people accomplish this, the three judges will go over their poems and decide upon one winner.
--Grand Prize: At the end of the contest the three judges will go over all the submitted poems and decide upon their overall favorite poem. That poem will be awarded a $10 SBD prize.
Note! You may join in the contest at any point, however, if you have missed previous days, you aren't eligible for the prize for writing a poem for each day. You will still qualify for the overall favorite poem prize and the daily favorite resteems.
How to Enter:
1)Write a poem based on/inspired by the scenario in the STEEM-POCALYPSE game post for that day.
2)Make a post with your poem and post the link in the comments for the 'Pocalypse Poetry Challenge and Contest post for that day. (If you don't wish to make your own post, you may post your poem in the comments instead.)
2.5)Make sure to use #pocalypse-poetry as your first tag in your entry posts!
3)Upvote and Resteem the contest posts you post your entries on.
3.5)Follow @HopeHuggs, @SuperBuckles, and @NovaAteBatman. Highly suggested but not an outright requirement.
4)Poems will only be accepted for the current day of game play. Meaning that we will no longer accept poems for Day 1 Round 1 of STEEM-POCALYPSE once Day 1 Round 2 of STEEM-POCALYPSE has been posted and so on and so on.
The challenge/contest will begin when STEEM-POCALYPSE begins!
Proof of Poetry Permission!
Proof-of-permission!
Genius!
This is very cool, I had no idea that you were all up to so much with this. Way to go!
Yeah, I'm probably gonna screenshot all your permission from now on if it's okay with you, lol.
Yep. I'm gonna be one busy busy busy record-keeper!
Into an apocalyptic world he strode
@novaatebatman, searching for the mother lode
From far and near, from all around
The Stemians she gathered with the sound
Of STEEM Backed Dollars for the taking
If a post of prose you are making
And so each day in the weeks to come
Your feed will be filled with posts of fun
As each of us tries to make it rhyme
And get the post up on Steemit in time
Who will win and who will lose
Well that’s for @novaatebatman, @hopehugs and @superbuckles to choose
Except that @NovaAteBatman is a he and STEEM-POCALYPSE isn't live yet so your poem doesn't count. :P
Doh!
Nice editing. XD
Sorry about that ;-)
I have reassigned your gender for you. I hope that helps.
Consider the poem a gift, and exemplar, a setting of the bar, if you will.
Naturally I set the bar pretty low (it's actually on the ground) so it shouldn't be hard for someone with a modicum of talent (or the ability to type with more than two fingers) to write something better.
Looking forward to the games. May fortune always be on my side ;-)
Well, you don't have to make it rhyme. I've always been much more partial to free-verse, myself.
Good luck in the poetry contest once it begins!
Sharing with @stinawog, my wife the poet!
Yay! The more the merrier!
Haha novaatebatman screenshot it.
'Course I did! >:D
