Rules
Read these guidelines carefully before joining this writing competition!
- You need to be 13 years or older to participate. Younger participants need their parents’ permission.
- To participate, the entry must be tagged #SweekPoetsSociety in story details.
- The poem or pamphlet cannot have more than 2,000 words. If you upload a collection of poems, they will be judged as a whole, not on an individual basis (then each poem should be published as a new chapter). In case you want each poem to be judged separately, please upload each as a new story.
- Only poems submitted before 25/06 @23:59 CET will be accepted.
- It is a poetry contest. Prose will be disqualified.
- Poems do not have to be newly uploaded on Sweek (you can participate with previously published work).
- The poems do not have to be exclusive, meaning they can be already uploaded somewhere else.
- Participation in the contest is totally free of charge.
- The entry has to meet Sweek community guidelines.
- The submitted work must be created by you. You can also write with a friend if you want to, but in case you win, the prize will be shared.
- You can participate with multiple entries. There is no limit per person.
- You can edit your entry until the submission deadline. After the deadline, you can no longer modify anything until the winners announcement (this will lead to disqualification).
- You can win only one cash prize.
- Spamming on Sweek or falsification of your followers will lead to disqualification of your story with a prior warning.
- Sweek reserves a right to disqualify any entry that breaks the community guidelines, contains plagiarised or explicit content.
- The cash prize will be transferred via Paypal (Sweek bears the transfer costs). If the winner is based in Europe, the cash prize can be arranged via a bank transfer. In case there is no option to create a Paypal account, the prize can be arranged via a gift card or a bank transfer for which the costs are split. The program is not responsible for currency conversion rate at the time of transferring the cash prize.
- Participation in the contest constitutes acceptance of the official rules stated above.
- The contest is in no way sponsored, endorsed, administered by or associated with Facebook.
