This is not a real contest. If you found yourself interested in entering this contest you are a candidate to be victimized by one of the several poetry contest scams found on the internet. Unfortunately, there are many amateur writers and poets who are the victims of internet scams which are just as blatant and obvious when the varnish is stripped away. Because of the web pages I've posted alerting poets and writers to the presence of similar web scams, I receive frequent e-mail asking me questions like, "How can I tell if a poetry contest is a scam?" There are two factors which immediately arouse my suspicions--- ---First, the word "Free." Surely we should all know know enough to be suspicious of anything that's offered to us for "Free." Such offers are almost always followed by various requests for your money. ---Second, beware of any organization that exists solely for the purpose of running poetry or writing contests. Ask yourself, "Where does the MONEY come from?" Dear
friends, it comes from YOU. This web page is provided as a
service to poets and writers by Wind Publications.
