Hi Cappucine! As part of the "Game of Thrones"  activity, the participants need to read and review closed forums. I was very happy to come across yours because I do remember that at one time these slam poems were so very popular!

I used to participate in Pita's anti-slam activities. Remember her? Fun times for sure. I did more, I think it was for Leger, but I can't recall, where we had to write zombie poems, like this one: "A Good Zombie Fright" . I'm sure I would have participated in this one of yours if I had known about it. Maybe I was too new to the site, as this was created the year that I joined. Gosh, you have been a member since the site was 'born'! Congratulations on your successful years here, by the way.

Your contest forum mentioned that these poems were to be regular poems, and not anti-slam poems. I read the heading thoroughly, and I felt that all of the directions were clear and easy to follow.

I thought it was a great idea to have your participants post their entries as a reply to the prompt for that round. What an easy way to keep track of it all. It was smart to offer a different forum, "The SLAM! Green Room" , where people could talk about the slam contest, or whatever came to their minds. This kept your contest forum clean and neat.

What fun it must have been to have those who placed in the prelim rounds eligible to participate in the final rounds - the best of the best.

Your contest seemed fair because there were three host judges to pick the winners.

The entries also had to be newly created for the contest. This, I believe, encouraged your participants to write new poems. The instructions were clear to say that the entries couldn't be edited after the deadline. That made the judges job a bit easier, that they wouldn't have to keep checking to see if the entry had been modified.
They should never need to do that! Good job with this and thanks for bringing back great memories.
