Could you sign me up? I'm honestly surprised I didn't see this sooner!

Hey @EditorAndPerks! I'd like to judge. But, first of all, I want to ask, what exactly judges do? (I don't think I have participated before especially not as a judge)
Thanks!
:D

I'm a little confused. Do we post a poem every day or just until the due dates of each round?

hey @ChrisCalaid there is a breakdown of the competition in the intro post of the thread. each round you will submit one poem, and the judges will decide if you move on to the next. there are also links to the previous year competitions if that would help give you a better idea :)

aha thanks @veeren for helping with the explanations!

This is separate from NaPo — you can absolutely submit a poem from napo if you’d like, but you only submit one new poem per round, unless you’ve made it to the final round!

@ChrisCalaid Judges are the ones to actually vote on each poem — whether they will make it to the next round, and have to vote before each deadline to announce each round’s results, if that makes sense.

I just wanted to point out that there is no 31st of April so is the last deadline the 30th of April or the 1st of May?
