ANNOUNCEMENT:

In Regards to this -> https://www.nairaland.com/1180563/poets-caf%C3%A9-chat-room/8#16063465

An adjustment has been made on the structure.
There is no need for the poets to design anything for the competition,
they are to concentrate on writing the poems.
I would assign one designer to each poetry writer.
I am doing everything possible to get IT guys,
graphic designers and arts gurus from the Science & Technology section, on board for this.
These designers would create the cover page for each poem.
So, the competition has a twist/spice to it.

Poets
- would only concern themselves with writing quality poems

Designers
- would imagine the writers are releasing their books, and
they would design a cover page for the poems.

Visuals, graphics and pictures make things interesting wink

Can we at least maintain professionalism? After this exercise, everyone can break loose. Let us focus on the task at hand!
By the way, thank you for being part of this. wink

Thanks. 13th of August is not feasible for you?

I think its about time I create a separate thread for the season 2, to create awareness.

By the way, long time!

You are welcome,

Actually, i'm currently in a limbo, would definitely give a concrete answer later.
And yes, the awareness is very important, a lot of people would be interested in this.

Oh that was mkmyer45's project. He promised to conclude the process. He got really busy with personal stuffs.
He is the mod of Science and Technology, you can check with him on that. Meanwhile, you can participate in mine too.

There was no winner in Season 1, it was just to encourage people to embrace poetry. It was to create awareness for poetry. But, the season 2 promises to be impactful and challenging.
Re: Nairaland's "The Poet" Competition by Yujin(m): 6:00pm On Jul 02, 2013
Alright.
Activating my poetic mode and mood.

Good job dear. I was thinking I would be participating, but thanks for the Judge position.
