IDAHOT
Poetry Contest
Today (17th May) is International Day Against Homophobia, Transphobia and Biphobia and truly deserves its title of Global Celebration of Sexual and Gender Identities?
All over the world, advocates and their allies are fighting for what matters most to them: the right to be free from criminalisation, persecution, stigmatisation.
Sometimes the right to just live, as in many countries people have to fear for their lives.
Rainbow flags will be flying all over the USA, UK and Australia, where this action has become a national IDAHOT favourite.
Write a poem, any style or length to reflect the essence of this movement. Make it fun, make it serious. Be responsible for what you write as promoting hate may be a criminal offence in your country.
The contest winner will win half of the prize pool which is based on the number of entries. The second and third place winners will each share the remaining prize pool. The prize pool is currently 20.00 member dollars. There are 14 spots still open. If all open spots are used the prize pool will be 90.00 member dollars. In this contest at least 2 submissions must be made for the vote to begin.
Deadline: Contest is closed. Deadline was Tuesday, May 17, 2016.
