For a better understanding of the type of work to submit, read some of the works being showcased in each of these categories at the Webstatic Internet site. Blank lines to separate paragraphs or elements do not count against the 60-line limit, but punctuation marks and spaces between words do count against the 80 character per line limit. Unique or odd entry layouts will not be reproduced and have no effect on the outcome of the judging. Judging is based on content, not on format. All entries must be written and submitted in U.S. English.
All copyrights remain the property of the author.
By entering the contest, authors grant permission to the Webstatic editors to publish those entries at the Webstatic Internet site and in any forthcoming hard-copy anthology compiled and submitted for publication by the Webstatic editors, without compensation to the authors. Entries determined by the editors to be plagiarized in any way will be automatically disqualified. Full names and addresses must be included even if that information was submitted with an entry in a previous Webstatic poetry contest. An entry may be withdrawn by the author by notifying the Webstatic editors via e-mail. A new entry to replace the withdrawn entry from that author will not be accepted during the same contest period.
