ITbomb: for the umpteen time, cuddlemii, I would suggest u put the email on ur signature.

Ibime: This is all very confusing.

Is this a poetry or a design contest?

Let the poets do their job jare and go open a seperate competition for designers.

I wouldn't mind penning a few lines if not for the silly design element which just complicates matters.

riskit33: Hey Cuddle this is really a masterpiece. I'm a lover of innovations. So i'm definitely in! But wait a minute shouldn't there be some sort of guideline concerning the size of the poem to be submitted. I mean like how many words are we expected to write or not exceed? All the same it's a great work you'r doing! Bestiees

lemmings: but where do i submit?

jiraiyas: loving this already.
Madame Cuddle and HBG I salute masob

scorpidmo: When is the deadline for submission for Round 1

lightheart: *peeps in and sees nobody*
*quietly drops the attached image*
*runs away*

ayd91: thanks for the clarification.

Ayatullah: @moderator, why hide my post? You could just let me know you do not value my prizes, then I'll make better offer. I believe in rewarding 'brainees', I am not joking

ayd91: pardon me, does this mean we aren't allowed to submit already published works (internet and print)? If this is so, its a bit unfair to those who have published the best of their works. And can a compromise be reached if the participant can show adequate proof of ownership?

bibiking7: I have got a couple of questions. lemme make them as plain as possible.
1. Are the poems safe? peeps might take the stuffs writen here and use it somewhere else. 2. Authentication. Do you have peeps that will verify that contestants really wrote their stuffs and did not just borrow online. 3. call me slow , but from what was written, each person will need like 4 poems. (just need to confirm).

And as for those wey wan contest. I get one tricky question. Will you use your best poem in the 1st stage or last.

beylinko: Cuddle u never cease to amaze me. Where have u been dis while. Kudos, to you. I will have a reason to be active on nairaland once more.

Mobsync: In the first round where the top 20 poems would be selected, how many poems is each person allowed to submit?

onegig: i mean i wrote up there in my first "someone willing to write and me designing but i would love to have a little input if neccessary in the final poems output" only to come online back and see the word co write. Anyways its not a biggie but i was just wondering why someone would have to go to that length or maybe my clone changed it.

enix2dmix: nice concept.... bt m nt sure we knw eachoda dat much 4 us 2 b able to ryt a love poem bout eachoda.... bt dis thread is intrestn.... nd funnynice concept.... bt m nt sure we knw eachoda dat much 4 us 2 b able to ryt a love poem bout eachoda.... bt dis thread is intrestn.... nd funnynice concept.... bt m nt sure we knw eachoda dat much 4 us 2 b able to ryt a love poem bout eachoda.... bt dis thread is intrestn.... nd funny

onegig: and i comot my versace shoe and pulls read carpet for my oga at the top ...who are you with? writing or designing princesa?.

but please wait o who goes around modifying individual posts? you got time i swear!

ITbomb: Just testing
*15 mins drill*

luvmijeje: *nodding my head* that is better, I was just being inquisitive.

luvmijeje: Why don't you want to respond to individual comment? So who is suppose to respond, to suggestions and questions when it arises?

chistar01: Hmm...ok now this has gotten my attention.
But are we to look for our designers or you would bring a list of designers for us to pick from? *following*

Orikinla: I am impressed.
Believe it or not, this is unprecedented in Nigeria. And Fidelity Bank Plc may want to be part of this competition since the bank is the leading supporter of Nigerian literary culture.
Send the bank a proposal to sponsor a prize for the winner.

Two thumbs up!

sino: 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.

Erm, as the yoruba saying goes and i translate in pidgin, 'the mountain for my side no make person see the moutain for ya side ni o'

qbar: It will be perfect...

Yujin: Alright.
