1. Our Poetry Contest
Do you have a love poem or love quote that you would like to share with our visitors? Why not enter it in our
free monthly poetry contest? At the beginning of every month, we will select one Love Poem and one Love Quote
(from the entries received during the previous month) and add them to our web site. We will include a link to
the winning poem and quote on our Home Page as well as in our monthly newsletter.
First, please read our Terms & Conditions regarding submissions
(don't worry it's short). Once you have read that, please take note of the following contest guidelines/rules.
Poetry Contest Theme:
The theme of our site (and contest)
is poems and quotes that are positive, romantic, and easy to understand. Only poems and quotes of this
nature will be considered.
What NOT To Submit:
Please do NOT submit poems or quotes
dealing with lost love, breaking up, depression, regret, impossible love, etc. These topics are beyond the scope
of this site. Please do NOT submit poems or quotes that are cynical, bitter, or negative, that have nothing to
do with love, or that have no romantic or sentimental undertone. If someone won't "feel good" after reading your
poem or quote, it does not fit into our collection. Please do NOT submit poems or quotes that are highly abstract
or surreal. We prefer poems and quotes that can be appreciated and understood by all ages. Lastly, please do NOT
submit poems or quotes that make reference to sex or making love. This subject is not suitable for our younger readers.
Please Spell Check:
We welcome submissions from all countries and all ages, however, proper spelling and grammar are required.
Entries with multiple spelling or grammatical errors will be ignored.
One Entry Per Person Per Month:
We receive a great number of entries every month. You are welcome to send a new poem or quote every month, but
please do NOT enter more than once during the same month.
If you have read (and are respecting) the above guidelines, please send us an e-mail
with the words Poetry Contest in the subject line. Please type your poem or quote directly in the e-mail
rather sending an attached file. In addition to the poem or quote, please include the name of the author which
will appear underneath. If you are submitting an original poem or quote (i.e. written by yourself), please
specify your name as you would like it to appear. If you are not the author of the poem or quote, please
specify the author's name so proper credit can be given.
