Valentine-Poem Contest: YES or NO?
We're trying to see if we should do this idea or not - what do YOU think?

The idea:
GoL's Best Valentine Poem Contest

How it works:
1. Each member would be able to submit his/her love poem(s) on these topics:
- Geneva
- Free styling (which means poem to anything you want: your true love, pet, boss, mistress, Brad Pitt, Stef_Granny, or anything else)

2. All members vote for their favourite poem

3. The top 3 winners get top prizes (and we'll try to get them featured in the local media too).

What think - could it fly? Any ideas to make it better?

Thanks for your feedback!

I like the idea! Perhaps you could make the submissions anonymous - both to make it easier for wannabe Shakespeares to reveal their innermost feelings publicly and to make the vote more objective. :)

Anonymous or not... doesn't matter... just allow the people to with hold their name if they want to

...have been quoted in poem textbooks, and were written by anonymous people, so why not :-) Good idea.

It’s a nice way to add a little fun to the holiday and see just how creative we all are (anonymously or not).

that's nice of you to offer Crepe. I'm sure SOMEone will be brave enough to express their poems in the open at your evening :-) I don't know if I will be in Geneva on the 14th though.

I think the GOL versions of Neruda and Gibran should have a platform to express their infinite emotions....
