October is an incredible month because it is both Spooktober AND Inktober! If you love poetry and want to experiment with your artistic side, or perhaps you already love to doodle, then this is the contest for you! This doodle poetry contest will last until the end of October, on October 31st.
So, what is the doodle poetry contest?
For this contest, you must create a poem and doodle based on an Inktober 2026 prompt. Now, what exactly qualifies as a 'poem and doodle', you may be asking. This could be many things: a hand-drawn picture, digital art, something simple, or complicated. It can be in classic black ink, or full of colour. The aim of this contest is to write a poem and create an art piece with the same theme.
Here are the prompts to choose from:
To enter:
1- Create your poem and doodle
2- Either publish it on YWS, post it to your NaPo Week Thread, or post it in this thread. If posting outside of this thread, please provide a link below.
3- The winner of this event will be decided by a vote by participants and site members! After the contest concludes, there will be an anonymous voting period done by private message. More information will be provided near the end of the month.
4- Then, the winners will be announced!
