How to Win a Poetry Contest?

2009-08-08T01:42:00.001+08:00

For poetry lovers, if you all wish to win a poetry contest and don't know how to win, I got a very great tips for you all. These tips may help you start winning today. Step #1:
Follow all the rules of the contest. This sounds very simple but there are many poems disqualified due to this. Please check out the maximum number of words, the format of the information provided, the entry fee, and whatever is required.

Step #2
Don't easily sastify with the first draft of your poem. Please revise it many times. Each time you revise, re-read the poem so you will hear how it sounds. By doing this you will acquire a good ear for poetry and this could produce a poem pleasing to the judges' ears too. A poet is a craftsperson, please don't forget that.

Step #3
Please use imagery (vivid descriptions) and figures of speech that are fresh and precise. Judges will like to a poem that says the same old thing in a creative and clever way. "Chalk days," for example, is a much stronger choice of words than "school days." Use similes, metaphors, personification, oxymora, contrasts, and other poetic techniques that will set you apart from novices writing near-poetry. Please buy a poetry handbook, then learn and use the poetic devices explained in their pages.

Step #4
A poem cannot simply be a listing of lined words and actually it needs to be crystal clear in its delivery. This is because a poet is written to provide the reader with clear and exact pictures that appeal to as many of the five senses as possible. A poem must have an emotional and/or intellectual impact on the reader too, who must either feel strongly or think strongly about what your poem has said. Wow. This could be great though.

Step #5
The value of sounds in your poem is very important too. Please learn and use the various poetic techniques that involve sound, such as alliteration, assonance, rhyme, rhythmic freshness, onomatopoeia, repetition.

Step #6
Keep the meaning of your poem clear. A good poem may be mysterious but never mixed-up. Please never ever confuse your reader, especially the contest judge. A good poem has more than one level of meaning, that are obvious or surface meaning and the underlying meaning or meanings that serve as themes or lessons or morals to help the readers better their lives. Please keep all meanings crystal clear.

Bikini Contest Tips

2009-07-22T23:07:00.001+08:00

There are many bikini contests on the beaches especially during spring break. If your planning on entering a bikini contest here are some tips to help you gain an advantage with other contestants on the rest of the competition.

1. It is a great advantage to you if you have a hot body. A toned bathing suit beauty is going to have a distinct advantage over the other competitors those long time didn't go to gym. If you are lacking in motivation, hang your bikini up in your bathroom for a little motivation to get off the couch and start working out. Or you may attend The Bikini Bootcamp. You may search it in Google, I am sure there is alot of such camps.

2. Next thing is you need to have a great looking tan skin. There are few ways to get your skin tan; you may head for tanning salon, or by using sunless tanning lotions or bronzers.

3. Accessories are quite important too when you are on the stage. You will have a sexier look on a pair of high heels. Not only do they look great but they will help show off the muscle tone in your calves and thighs too.

4. Remember to smile. Smile will make you look like you are having fun, you gonna have a better chances for the crowd and judges noticing you.

5. How to gain more attention? By flirting with the crowd my friend. Shaking your body on stage will get the crowd/judges gone wild and bring you more attention.

6. Remember this is a bikini contest and it means the more skin the better. Wait, I am not asking you to strip on stage, just choose your bikinis wisely. A hot and suitable bikinis will giving you higher marks as well.

Bikini contests are about showing off your body and having fun. So make sure you are enjoying it and don't be shy. If there is any bikini contest to share, just drop a comment below.

Good luck for those going to join bikini contest.
