Hello again.

I would like to take a moment to thank everyone who has written and
posted an entry into this contest. There are certainly many talented
people among the populace of Aetherius. There are a few bits of
additional information regarding the contest that I would like to share
with you at this time.

Donations have been received that will be changing the format of the
awards and prizes. If more then 25 people participate, we will be
awarding 1st-4th place prizes for form and free-form poems.
Additionally, should you feel moved to donate, please contact myself,
Ien or Nepenthe. The prizes will be more generous then previously
posted. However, we think it might be a little more exciting to leave
the newly inflated prizes a secret, which will be revealed at the close
of the contest. Again, donations are still being accepted.

Please remember that you may enter up to three poems in the contest. You
can also win dual-prizes: one in both form poetry and free-form poetry
(for example, you could win 1st place free-form poetry, and second place
form poetry).

I would like to remind all participants that there has been a previously
posted specific format for your entries. If you have posted an entry
incorrectly, please re-post. It is only fair to require all participants
to follow the same rules. If your entry is incorrectly posted, you will
not and cannot be considered in the judging process.

I, along with many others, am enjoying reading the already impressive
writings on the poetry board. Keep the entries coming- and remember, the
rewards promise to be very generous indeed.

Blessed Be---
