What To Look For When You Visit Poetry Contest Sites

By Shirley Hughes


The ability to write good poems is usually considered as inborn. However, people also go through a lot of learning and reading to develop this skill and to be the best at it. That said, poetry writing demands both imagination and articulation to make sense to the reader. People who know how to write poems that captivate have a flair for visiting poetry contest sites just in case they may find an opportunity.

It is good to visit the website so that one can know the details of the competition. One of the things you should look out for assuming you are interested in one is the prizes available. This is something that can spur you into action and even if you are not too good at writing poems, you could learn so quickly if the prizes attract you.

What draws most contestants to competitions is when they are told that they will be sponsored for a trip to a city they have never been to before. Most times, this has to do with a place that is away from one's own country before it can be enticing. So, if you are one of those that look forward to taking a flight out of your country for some days, practicing poetry may be of help.

Sometimes, scholarship opportunities are listed on the website. Some people will be happy to join whether it is a full scholarship or not especially if they would have to school in one of the best institutions for literature. Sometimes, the winner is even asked to make a choice on the school to study.

Money is also given as a prize. If the money is big, some people would love to join even when they think they may not win. Depending on the stages involved, the money mapped out for this is planned for the different winners that may emerge in each category. Winners of each region should not get as much as is given to the overall winner.

People should also be careful to enter a contest that is meant for them by looking at the age range that is specified. Most times, it is for those under the age of 25 but that does not earn you cannot find one that is for your age if you are above this. If there is no age bracket, feel free to join no matter how young or old you think you are.

Some contests require fees so knowing this ahead of time makes you prepared. Even if you are not buoyant, it is advisable to ask friends for it if you are sure of writing well. You can be sure if the competition demands a fee or not by checking the organizer's website.

Knowing the closing date and planning accordingly is necessary to win. You cannot be announced as the winner of any contest if you submit late, no matter how good your work is. Moreover, when you know the closing date, you will be able to plan more effectively and also visit a friend to help you go through your work.
