>
Competitors must submit an original piece of poetry never before published within a 40 line limit. The piece must clearly relate back to the theme, but also be applicable to a general audience.
Procedures:

The following is a list of rules and procedures for this category. Failure to fulfill these obligations and/or any violation of them may result in point loss.
  1. A limit of two (2) students from each team may register for this competition. Each student competes individually, so collaboration is not permitted.
  2. Poetry must clearly reflect upon any aspect of this year’s theme.
  3. Submissions must be labeled with the MIST ID ONLY. The contestant name must not appear anywhere on the work.
  4. Competitors may incorporate any style or genres of poetry including rhymed, lyric, dramatic, narrative, or free verse.
  5. All poems must have a title and must not exceed 40 lines in length (excluding title).
  6. Poems must be the original work of the entrant. Entries must not have been published, self-published, published on a website or broadcast before January 2016.
  7. Handwritten entries cannot be accepted. Entries should be typed in black ink only. Entries can be double or single-spaced. Please do not staple printed entries.
  8. A PDF copy of the poem must be emailed to your Regional Competitions Headquarters two (2) weeks before the Regional Tournament. Late submissions will result in a point deduction on your final score. Your region may have different deadlines for this competition. Contact your Regional Competitions Headquarters for more information.
  9. Poetry submissions must include a filled-out “Poetry Analyzing Written Statement”.
