New Member of the Month – JULY  2020

Welcome to "New Member of the Month" to be featured in the DUP 'New Member of the Month Hall of Fame', sponsored by Tallen.

You have 3 weeks to nominate  Your favorite poems from a NEW DUP poet - someone who has been a member for no more than six months.

To locate New Members simply click on 'Poems' > *Latest Poems > Sort Poems > New Members!  Thanks to Umm for the image and helping us old people out!  

Please note the following when making nominations:

1. Self nominations are not accepted. The great majority of the competitions here are about spotlighting one's own work on a particular topic or theme.  This is a chance to nominate that poem that you wish you had written but some other great talent here beat you to it.

2. Until this comp is established, there is no limit to nominations; however, you can't nominate more than one poem per individual new member.  *****

3. No DUPLICATES. If someone nominates the same poem the entry will be deleted. If you like it that much wait and vote for it!

4. Any genre except erotica or pornography. This is a Facebook feature and we must adhere to their guidelines.  

5. Any member who is banned or disables their account PRIOR to the win will be automatically disqualified.

6. One win per member per calendar year ( 12 months ).

7. All nominators should notify their nominees of nominations.

8.  PLEASE DON’T NOMINATE RECENT WINNERS

Any nominated member who wishes to opt out of the competition may do so by messaging me. I will contact the person who nominated you and request an alternate nomination.

Nomination Duration is 3 weeks followed by a week of site voting!

We do have a winner for this that we will be announcing. There was a panel of two judges ( excluding myself, as I had nominated someone ).  They both selected the same poem.

As soon as Tallen returns he'll award the trophy.

Congratulations, syandeneJahia (sy4ndene44)

Yes; Webmiss will re-award the trophy, which would've automatically gone to you, syandenejahia, had there been a public vote. We'll get it sorted.

Thank you to our two judges! Much appreciated. xo

Wonderful news all! Eerie has stepped up and volunteered to begin hosting this monthly competition. She would be a wonderful asset and nurturing hostess to our new members! Thank you, Eerie, for volunteering. You are appreciated.

Additionally, Webmiss has been emailed in regards to Eerie, and reassigning this trophy to its rightful owner.
