Whoops - The Poetry Forum is password-protected now -- the password is citrus.

It says so on the main page, for future reference. Should've mentioned that next to the link, eh?

You'll see the rest of the contest details in the thread itself.

I've not been able to reproduce that error. Is anyone else having difficulties?

If we can't resolve this amongst us, let's take this question to the Tech Help forum.

THIS JUST IN

Unbelievable!

The redoubtable Jason Tudor (jst5150) has just added TWO more prizes to the contest purse:

- US$25
- A copy of Vibrating Moonlight, his recently-released book of poems

Jason is already maintaining the AW Calendar and contributing prolifically to the Poetry Forum. All this while stationed in the Middle East with the military.

Thank you, Jason.

Yes, folks, there is a SEVENTH new prize, for a total of EIGHT PRIZES.

Our very own KTC has contributed a year's subscription to The Word Weaver, a bimonthly writers' newsletter - a $20 value.

A round of applause for Kevin, and for all our prize donors!

I know I am pretty low on the food chain, but how 'bout the next be about new years for next month?? The Valentine stuff I think Hallmark and American Greetings have a good handle on that.... Or there could be an Un-Valentine's day contest....
