Frequently Asked
Questions
What exactly does this platform do?
We are a dedicated community and contest platform for poets of all skill levels. We host regular poetry prompts and competitions where writers can submit their original verse, gain global exposure, and compete for cash prizes and publishing features.
Is the platform free to join?
Yes, creating an author profile is completely free. We host regular free-to-enter contests that anyone can participate in. We also offer premium, paid-entry contests for those looking to compete for larger cash pools and guaranteed editorial feedback.
Can beginners submit their poetry?
Absolutely! Our platform is designed to be a welcoming space for both first-time writers and published authors. Our judges review all poems blindly, meaning every piece is judged purely on the merit of its emotion, creativity, and connection to the prompt.
How do I submit my poem to a contest?
Simply navigate to our "Contests" page "Active Prompts", choose the contest that inspires you, and click "Submit Entry." You will be prompted to paste your poem directly into our submission form or upload it as a document, depending on the specific contest rules.
Do I lose the rights to my work if I submit it?
No, you retain 100% of the copyright to your poetry. By submitting to our platform, you only grant us the non-exclusive right to display your poem on our website and social channels if you are selected as a winner or honorable mention.
