Themed Contest – Blessing or Bane?
Our contests generally have a lot of submissions. However, the August 2009 Poetry Contest has only had a few people enter thus far. Does adding a theme to a contest make is less desirable? Has the contest been scheduled too far in advanced? Why are fewer poets interested in this themed contest?

As someone who submitted to the poetry contest I can tell you that I love it when someone else picks the theme. It gives me more direction so that I am not flapping all over the place trying to come up with a viable topic. Keep picking!
