DON'T neglect/abandon your contests! They need careful nurturing

If any post needed to be bumped up to the first page, It's this one. I found it on page four. Please, people, keep an eye on your contest. If for some reason, you can't finish it, then try to find someone who can help you out. There are always people with idle time on their hands.

If you can't find someone, then close it down and let the people that have entered know it. So many times, it is bumped and bumped and bumped... And still no response from the person who created it in the first place.

Once again, tend your contest with the love you'd give a child, because in the end, It will benefit you

I do do contests and i always wait until the finishong date, so some-times it wil appear like i have left it, but i don't do that! i thik since you put it like that i will post on my compitioins more often!

Sorry Ester, Wasn't naming any names. Just in general. I've seen poetry contests that have been on the site stuck on the fourth or fifth page that just got lost by the wayside. Those are the ones that I'm talking about. Sometimes, they need to be bumped by the creator, just to let people know that they aren't forgotten.

Sometimes, a person will reserve a title or a spot on a contest and get busy and just let it slip their mind. Those need to be bumped to jog their memeries.

A simple word like bump, can get it back where the people can see it. Not only will the poets who have submitted to it, the ones who reserved can see it and also, some of the new members can try their hands at some very good contests.

I don't think anyone would intentionally just drop a contest, but sometimes life happens and it can't be helped. These are the ones, i'm talking about for a person to get someone else to help them out. It isn't that hard to ask and like I said in my earlier post their are always poets with some idle time on their hands.

Anyway, to all those who read this post, I was going through some of the contests and saw this one and felt like it needed to be bumped.

Not singling anyone in particular, Just in general.
