Here’s the link: http://www.poeticrepublic.com/

I don’t know if anyone’s heard of this but it looks very good.

It’s a poetry competition in which the entrants judge each others work, rather than having judges.

All info is on the website. I’m really looking forward to entering and judging :-)

Cheers for that link! angelic dynamo looks pretty cool. I don’t know why, but having the opportunity to vote on poetry is quite exciting.

its quite an unusual idea, i spose. i mean, theres an election process whenever you submit to any magazine or enter a competition, but its more in the iranian ‘supreme leader’ style than anything else.
