The Details

At 12:00 midnight (CST), when Friday becomes Saturday (exact date for 2011 TBA), CV2’s list of words will be emailed to registered participants. Participants then have 2 days (48 hours) to write their best poem. Each word must be used at least once in their final submitted poem. Submitted poems may not exceed 48 lines. Only one poem may be entered per participant.

There is a $12.00 registration fee for the contest.

Contest fees can be paid by PayPal or by cheque/money order sent to the CV2 office. Registration and an email address are required to play.

The contest is open to both Canadian and international residents.
