Anthology of Achaean Poetry!

Written by: Morose Elegist, Jaron Syleth, Student of Dark Prose
Date: Thursday, July 22nd, 2004
Addressed to: Everyone


Greetings Achaeans!

I apologize for interupting the debate, but, well, its time for a little
unity. So, I would like to invite everyone who is a poet at heart to
enter into the Anthology of Achaean Poetry contest.

What is this event you might ask?
Well, it is the creation of an Anthology of Achaean Poetry, of course!
The goal of this is to create a book comprising some of the best poetry
produced by the peoples of this world so that everyone might enjoy it.

There are two portions of this contest.

The First Portion -> Poetry Competition

The poetry competition is the main component of this event. There is no
limit to how many poems you can enter, or how many of yours can place in
the final collection; however, there is an entry fee. Over all, this
contest is going to be somewhat expensive to run, as each person who
wins and is placed in the anthology shall receive a free copy (6,000
gold value alone), the top portion (number depending on number of
entries) will also receive additional prizes, and each judge has to be
sent the poems, which, although not much, costs gold in letters. So, I
have figured that an entry fee of 1,500 coins for the first poem, and
750 for each subsequent poem is reasonable for both sides. (comments on
this, if anything, would be appreciated. I can try to work something out
to lower the cost, but I really want the prizes to be worth it, so, if
donations are given, it could happen.)

The Second Portion -> Anthology Title and Cover Art

The second portion of this competition is to come up with a title for
the collection as well as design the cover art for it. (this will be
displayed on Page 1 of the books). The cost, per entry, is 200 coins.
There is no limit to how many entries you may make, as long as each one
is accompanied by 200 gold. There will only be one winner for this
portion (unless of course people work together), and the prize is still
yet to be determined, as it once more depends on entries over all.
