We are proud to announce the winner of the First Annual Lulu Poetry Contest:
Timothy Ivan Brumley for his poem Four Sisters
Congratulations Timothy!
Last April, Lulu set out to change www.poetry.com for the better, to make it a place that creates real value for the poets using it. In the last ten months, we have been astonished by the sheer amount of creativity and effort that has sprung forth from the strong community of over 7 million poets using Lulu Poetry. Lulu is proud to host the largest collection of poetry in the world and we have worked hard to further develop that community by providing them with the tools to publish and inspire creativity. Lulu has instituted daily, monthly, and yearly poetry contests that have rejuvenated many authors’ excitement for their craft while helping to improve their work through ratings. It makes us so happy to see people do what they love, and we have awarded over $9,000 in prizes so far this year. Now, Timothy will receive a grand prize of $5,000 for the Yearly contest.
Lulu Poetry is home to over 14 million poems. Several poets have hundreds of works listed and we average over 3,000 newly submitted poems each week. We’re always attracted to any passionate group of authors with an urge to create and the Lulu Poetry community is definitely that. Selecting the first yearly winner ever was not easy. Our users are engaged by reading, rating, and sharing poems and we are thrilled that the community helped to make the winning choice by rating poems they enjoyed. The poetry contests are ongoing with new winners announced each week. To participate just submit your poetry to Lulu Poetry’s free site.
Lulu Poetry is always looking to grow and our ongoing goal is to help even more people interested in poetry spark their creativity and enjoy the community we are developing. Lulu Poetry users are willing to go the extra step to put their work and ideas out there for the world to see and we respect their passion and dedication. Being backed by a company that has helped more than 1 million authors in 80 countries has our poetry authors excited. At Lulu, we know that the annual contest is more than just prize money, it’s validation for our poets‘ hard work and the hard work of the entire poetry community.
