Might find its a case of default winners in some categories especially if initial interest levels off. Still it means more people getting wins! (I personally dont think it would be too hard even with minimum no. of categories for people to decide which poem they like best for whatever reason ) Could always try it with no categories and see how many you get in , and if loads, you could split into appropriate number of categories yourself before voting starts?

For example, If anyone wishes to write a 'limerick' they can, opposed to a 'rap' or a 'nursery rhyme'. They won't be in categories, it's simply an open choice and voting will be against each individual entry, not as part of any category . This is becoming more like XFactor !

Brilliant! Liking this idea better now. Almost ready for the off! Hope you have all got your paper and pens at the ready Humankind has not woven the web of life. We are but one thread within it.

You should have sent it to 'granny' so we don't know who is the rude one ! Now about to start a new thread for this Poetry Competition. Yours shall be first on the list Ludwig.. thank you. It needs a title. Shall we call it 'Balls of a Ghost' ? Last edited by granny; 19th Oct 2015 2:07pm. Humankind has not woven the web of life. We are but one thread within it.
