Superdooper Superhero Poetry Contest... Write now!
Local Poets Guild is sponsoring a poetry competition in conjunction with 516 ARTS and their exhibition: Superheroes: Icons of Good, Evil & Everything in Between which opens Saturday, October 1, 6-8pm.
Hosts Hakim Bellamy, Gary Jackson, and Lisa Gill correlated five superheroes with different categories of poetry and invite ALBUQUERQUE-AREA POETS to submit poems on the themes (listed below) to localpoetsguild@yahoo.com or lisa@516arts.org by October 1st at 5 pm. The prizes will be fantabulous, perhaps comix-al and include participation in a costumes-encouraged 516 WORDS: Superheroes Poetry, which will take place on Halloween weekend.
HERE ARE YOUR CATEGORIES:
PRIZE #1: Shade the Changing Man Award will be offered to: The best GLBTQ poem
PRIZE #2: The Flash Award will be offered to: The best super-short superhero poem
Prize #3: The Dynamic Duo Award will be offered to: The best collaborative duet on any subject
