All contest entries will be published and made available for everyone to read after the contest concludes on the 8th of the contest month.

Hey Steven, thanks for bringing this up! We've already adjusted the functionality accordingly. Initials are no longer displayed prior to the contest to keep everything as fair and unbiased as possible.

Thanks again for helping us make the site better for everyone. more »

Hi there, while we strive to accommodate everyone and carefully review each case, we cannot guarantee acceptance due to the high volume of inquiries we receive each month.

The poems will be added automatically to your collection after the contest concludes, so you don't need to worry about submitting them separately!
