We are currently in week 3 of 4.

Each week you will submit one piece of work. Your entry can be a poem,
a song or a short story (Nothing over a page or two). You will be
marked by 3 judges, one of which is myself and the other two will be
revealed later (they are already chosen ... but they don't know it
yet.).

You will be marked out in three different areas by each
judge. These areas are: Content (5 marks) , Flow (5 marks) and Overall
Impression (5 Marks).

Content, is the piece of work something
original or is the idea stolen, does it create something new or is it
the same thing that we see 20 times a day. Is there substance in this
piece of work? or is it just a bunch of words. All those goes into your
mark for this one

Flow is just the technical aspects of your
piece of work, does it have tons of grammar/spelling mistakes, do the
words seem out of place and all those kinds of things fall into this
category.

Overall is just the impression left on us, the judges,
its not whether we liked it or not, but more of, did it make a point,
did it stir emotion in us, that kind of thing.

Points earned for each work will be announced each weekend.

If you do not post your work one week, you will be given the minimum amount of points in each category.

Also, please note that any pieces of work submitted must be new works and cannot have been posted on the forums already.

If you have any questions, ask Sparky via Private message or on one of his instant messaging programs.
