   One of the criterion is that all entries must have a photo... what are you looking for in terms of photos?

      Simple things...they are easily available...just not in "free" creative commons and public domain image sections.
      
      It's like a game or something...they never even have a close picture FOR FREE!
      
      It's really mind-boggling how not-so-close the Flickr/Attribution site/Creative Commons/and Wikimedia photos come to what I am looking for...and then miss it altogether. The truth is the FREE shots are all horrible....or of nothing interesting...that is why they are FREE.
      
      Without too much of getting into just me talking about my own personal hub here...lets just say I'm looking for a real good specific pic of an Algebra 2 Formula written out...THAT IS FREE (the other ones I am looking for are typically that easy and that specific for what I need  for my Hub). None of the ones I have found for FREE...meet that criteria. The FREE ones miss the mark...or are awful. Yet, if you pull up images on Google for Algebra 2...you will get no less then a hundred good images...!? It is unbelievable.

            Hi Simone...Sorry to whine so much...but let's say you are writing about something...that is beyond your limits of providing an image...like say for instance me...Southwest U.S. Mountains. (I live in Houston, Texas )
            
            Kind'a a dilemma...especially if all the creative commons licensed ones are junk.
            
            Oh well...part of the contest game. Yesterday, I was just at wit's ends doorstep due to the hours of trying to find good licnesed photographs.

   I have a question , im hoping someone can answer for me .. here goes
   Writing in poetry form , and the 500 word rule ..
   
   1.) Is it better to have a poem thats lets say 400 words with a small description because if its poetry , then it should be "poetry" and less description .
   
   (OR)
   
   2.)if your writing/submitting poetry , is a lets say ...200 word poem and 300 word paragrapgh better? and is THAT still counting as poetry if you have more words in the paragraph than you have poetry?
   
   Maybe i just dont get it (or) im not doing it right!?? ... please help me out , Thanks

   The length of the poem is up to you... the entire submission must have a minimum of 500 words.  A good format is a brief introduction, poem, and then a conclusion.  The poem should be whatever length is natural for the thoughts of the poem to express the meaning...  Don't over write the poem because you need more words..

    The hub itself is the entry, as a whole. There should be a natural flow of content. The poem is the central focus. It can be as short or as long as it needs to be in order to say what it wants to say. Your added text gives a nice platform for the poem. I've read some fantastic additional text both before and after the poem. It's your creative license to format your hub however you feel is best. Enjoy the process.

But as someone that writes poetry , i would rather see and read "poetry" than an article .I dont read articles if im wanting to read poetry , thats just me. In a contest for poetry ,i think 2 to 10 paragraphs are way to long for poetry ,if i wanted to read a short story , i would . thanks for the comment , it helped alot have a wonderful evening:)

    Just read my email about the contest, but I'm confused about the requirement "•Be published for the first time on that given contest day".  I understand that the work can't be published on HP before, but what if it was published elsewhere on the web - one's own website or submitted to a contest in the past, or?  So in essence does the statement mean bepublished for the first time EVER, ANYWHERE?

    If you share on Facebook and put fiction, writing and reading as keywords in your comments, they will show up in groups with those subjects on Facebook.

       Hi Simone just a quick question.
       Is the final selection of winners from the daily draw or are all entries considered for the final grand prizes?
       And thanks for this contest as I am finding it very inspirational!

          the latter is correct: If the only entries eligible for the grand prizes were the daily draws there would be only 22 entries considered.  What if there were no  daily draw winners in one of the categories?

          The daily draw is a totally random prize - it would be very unfair to have the competition 'top prizes' be totally based on random entries. Every entry into the contest will be judged and will have a chance at winning the grand prizes.

    hi emichael. I was wondering what it is you thought you had done wrong in submitting for the contest?

       I had one issue where I mislabeled an entry. Put in in the wrong writing category right before the contest day ended. I fixed it but not until after the next "day" had started. So I just wanted to see if there was a way to make sure that it had been accepted. I tend to worry over things I shouldn't, but it would be nice to see an official list of the entries. But with so many, I understand how that would be difficult.

    Given the number of awesome entries, I propose a new set of prizes - "Honorable Mentions"
    
    Perhaps we could have 10 Honorable Mentions for each category with a $20 prize each. It is not so much for the money, but more a recognition for a job very well done.

       It's probably too late to have prize money for this, but it would be interesting for HP to produce a hub with the top ten (or 15?) entries within each category....

       Great ideas! Like SimeyC says, it's too late for us to change our prizes in this contest, but we will most certainly be awarding the Hub of the Day award to entries that we think deserve honorable mention (and that meet the Hub of the Day requirements)

    For someone who enjoys long form fiction so much, these shorter entries are quite an adventure. I am having to learn to narrow the scope of the plot to bring the story home in so few words. Yes, 1500 words to me is few! Check out this short story and tell me what you think, fellow fiction crafters!
    
    By the way, this is my second offering for today!

       In my understanding, there is no separate photo galary contest. Among poetry, creative writing and photo gallery category, winner is selected from only one of this categories in a day:)

          That's correct! And since there are far fewer photo gallery entries, we're seeing fewer random winners that are photo gallery submissions.
