Wecome To The UPA Contest issued for allAfter all the comments and suggestions within the thread. I have concluded that no matter who I pick, people would say I am being bias in my search for these founding members of UPA. I have thought about this dilemma and have come up with a satisfying solution. Out side myself and USPSLADY all of the founding positions will be picked by the site. I will have a contest. For those with the right requirements to participate. The requirements are you need to have at least 10 different poems of 10 different subjects on this site. You are also required to have at least 4 different genera in your profile you have written on. An example of this is Inspirational, Erotica, Horror, and or Love or any other genera that may fall under these categories. Also one of the requirements is that besides the weekly challenge of the group that will be picked by a founder there is also a second challenge that is called on the fly. This challenge states that any poet of the group can call out any another member of their picking. Give them a subject to write on and a time limit to have to do it on. The Time limit and subject has to be agreed upon by both parties. After the challenge is complete the poem is to be posted with the UPA on the fly challenge typed at the bottom of the poem. The person that made this challenge is to be e-mail or contacted via pm and told the title to it. That person has 24 hours to comment and rate the poem. If he or she don’t they lose the right to challenge any other member for a time being. This will allow others to progress in their work and get an abundance of comments and rates. With the challenges as stated there is one more thing that we all need to abide by. |

Re: Wecome To The UPA Contest issued for allThe intent of your group is entirely different from my interests in helping to make better "writers". Good luck with your contest. |

Re: Wecome To The UPA Contest issued for allhehehe wowzers such limits to poetry like its an Olympic marathon! No dis my brother but the exclusion to who chose to encourage those who are growing. Me thinks that maybe two teams of like minded poets to challenge under different rules for each team, cause I know a eleven year old whom I would like to encourage more and would be proud to pass time in poetry growing. I do love a challenge but for me the rules go beyond personal growth. Red team verses blue so to speak, like maybe something others could attach to. |

To have great poets there must be great audiences too.
