I'm actually surprised I haven't reviewed your challenge before. I've been taking part since the very beginning. (Although I believe I am a week late at the moment, but I'll catch up.) Which leads me to my first thing I love about your challenge. You allow people to catch up when they fall behind. That has been such a godsend for me. I try to keep on top of activities, but sometimes there just aren't enough hours. So, yes. I love that you allow us to catch up. Actually, the whole challenge has a laidback, easygoing feeling. It feels like you created this contest to encourage people to write poetry and share their poetry, not to go on a power trip, chasing people up when they are late. That works for me. Because you ask participants to pay into their layaway fund to earn their awardicon at the end of the year, I assume it increases the number of people who continue past the fourth week. That's such a good idea. I only just noticed the part where you say if people don't contribute, but complete the challenge, you will give them a 10K awardibcn. That's so nice. Your instructions for how to take part couldn't be clearer. I love how you have highlighted the part about posting links to poems. Especially when you say you won't go hunting through people's portfolios to find their poems. I know exactly how time consuming and irritating that can be from my own contests and activities. As someone who is taking part in your challenge, I want to commend you for the prompts you give. In the fourth year now, I don't know how you keep coming up with them. They always feel fresh, as well. (Or maybe I just have a rubbish memory.) Suggestions: I have no suggestions for improvement, But, if I may, I would like to suggest that you open Promptly Poetry for a fifth year when the time comes. Parting comments: Choconut
