It is already November 17th!
This is your reminder to submit your poem on or before December 1st to participate in this year’s poetry contest and win cash prizes and promotions.
Your poem must focus on joy in some way and be in our inbox on or before the clock strikes midnight on December 1, 2024!
Email your poem to support@yecheilyahsannualpoetrycontest.org.
Tips for Submitting Video:
Now that the contest is in full swing, you might be wondering how to submit a video of you reciting your poem. As you might recall, we are accepting audio and video submissions. If you choose this, remember you still must send us the written version.
- You can upload it to YouTube or Vimeo. Set it to private and send us the link.
- You can send it via Google Drive to support@yecheilyahsannualpoetrycontest.org.
- You can use Dropbox. I have created a temporary account for us under support@yecheilyahsannualpoetrycontest.org.
- There is a website that makes uploading large files super easy. It is called We-Transfer, and it’s free to use. Here is the link: wetransfer.com. In the email space, put support@yecheilyahsannualpoetrycontest.org.
- Another website that allows video files to be sent is Sharefile. Here is the link: www.sharefile.com
Note: Do not upload your video to Instagram, TikTok, or Facebook because there is no way to keep it private (even with a private account). This is a competition. We don’t want anyone’s poetry leaked until the contest ends and the winners are announced. After that, you are welcome to distribute your work far and wide! (This also helps to protect your intellectual property!)
