1. Participants must be above 18 years of age, or sponsored by such a person.

3. We apply no censorship, however it is fair to tell you up front that poems encouraging hate, violence, pornography, derogation of others, drug abuse, and similar – have no chance of winning. Of course, if such aspects are relevant and necessary as part of the “story” – then there is no problem in using them.
4. The specific conditions of each individual contest must be adhered to.
