WPF Creativity Challenge Program - Rules & Guidelines

Postby admin » Tue May 18, 2010 9:40 am

Dear Membership -- Here's information about a new Creativity Challenge Program that was introduced here at Wild on Monday, July 11, 2005

_________________________________________________

Title:
WPF's Creativity Challenge

Objectives:
To stimulate more member involvement in Wild. To increase traffic on Wild and secure new members. To advertise useful poetry books that people may not know exist. To educate and teach our membership new poetry formats and theories.

Description & Rules:
On Monday of every other week, a Creativity Challenge will be posted by Admin. It will ask members to write a poem based on specific criteria. Most of the challenges will be taken from poetry books on the market, though some will be created by WPF Admin and Staff. The Challenge participants will then have thirteen days to complete the Challenge. The Challenge will be closed on Sunday of the second week. The poems will be read and judged by Admin (that means me, M, along with a little assistance from steve) and the winner of the Creativity Challenge will be posted along with the Poem of the Week Winner and Honorable Mentions.

To be considered, poems must be posted by Sunday BEFORE 9:00 p.m. (PST) of the Challenge time period. Poems posted on Sunday AFTER 9:00 p.m. (PST) of the Challenge will be ineligible. There must be at least ten (10) participating poems in any particular Challenge, or the voting might be cancelled, or the Challenge might be extended. You do not have to participate in every Challenge. Some weeks, it may not fit into your schedule, some weeks the particular Creativity Challenge may not be of interest to you. But we hope that you will take this opportunity to become more involved in Wild as time permits.

Poems currently in the Challenge are NOT eligible for Poem of the Week or IBPC consideration in the time period that they are in the Challenge, and we ask that they NOT be posted in any other forum while they are under consideration in that week's Challenge. After that particular Challenge is over and the announcement of the judging has been made, however, they may be reposted on any of our other IBPC boards for Poem of the Week and IBPC consideration and member commentary.

The Challenge is open to members only, so you must be a registered member of Wild to participate. Only one (1) entry per member per Challenge, please. Moderators and other staff at WPF (with the exception of Admin, of course) ARE eligible to participate in the Challenges. Poems will be judged on how well they fit the Challenge criteria. All judge's decisions are final. There is no monetary compensation connected with this Challenge. The terms and conditions of this Creativity Challenge Program are subject to change at any time.

Past Challenges are housed in the WPF Creativity Challenge Archive forum. Even though the Creativity Challenges stored there are no longer active, these past Challenges can be a source of great inspiration for your writing. Please check the Creativity Challenge Archive for hundreds of prompts to learn from and to try.

Should you have any questions or comments regarding this new Creativity Challenge Program, please write to us at adminwpf@wildpoetryforum.com or post your questions in ESSENTIAL OILS

We hope you will be most pleased with this new activity and that you will participate as much as you can. But most important, learn, have fun, and enjoy!

Love,
M (Administrator)


UPDATE (August 2005):
The WPF Creativity Challenge is now a compensated program. All the weekly winners will be pooled each month and a Grand Prize Winner will be determined at month's end. That winner will be announced at the beginning of the following month and be awarded a $5 Amazon.com Gift Certificate that may be used in WPF's BookShop toward the purchase of books or any other product.

The reward program will begin with the August 2005 Creativity Challenges entries. As always, terms and conditions of this program are subject to change at any time.

UPDATE (January 2007)
The Amazon.com Gift Certificate amount for the monthly Grand Prize Winner has been raised from $5 to $10. All other terms and conditions remain the same.

UPDATE (June 2010):
As of June 2010, the Creativity Challenge program can be found in its own forum (and no longer housed in BALANCING QI), and is no longer financial compensated. All other terms and conditions remain the same.

UPDATE (June 2012):
As of June 2012, the Creativity Challenge program has been changed from a weekly to a bi-weekly schedule. All other terms and conditions remain the same.
