A few calls of encouragement are heard from the assembly, causing him to blush and pause a moment. He clears his throat and speaks into the Magic Infused Contraption (M.I.C.) that amplifies his voice:[/color][/i] [center][size=4][color=#6a9810][b]Yes, thank you. Hello and welcome, all, to the Mistral Jamboree Poetry Contest! I am your host, Swiatla. I am proud and excited to open this year's contest. This event is a wonderful opportunity to hear from poets all across the land. As the poets prepare themselves, let's meet the judges and review the rules.[/b][/color][/size][/center] [i][color=#898989]The spotlight changes to the judge's table, illuminating three dragons. Each waves or gently bows in response to the crowd's attention. A cacophony of whistles is heard; a Wind Flight sound of appreciation. I think.. yes, a cowbell is heard among them.. Swiatla covers his mouth with a chuckle.[/color][/i] [center][size=4][color=#6a9810][b] Now, now. Hold onto your enthusiasm. We're just meeting the judges, you haven't even seen our prizes yet! We'll get to those in a moment. For now it is my pleasure to introduce our judges...

She is not a fan of Rap or Gore, but enjoys juggling words and wants all the poets here today to know how proud she is of all of you. It takes courage to present your work to the sky. Share and have a fun time! [/indent] [b][color=#6a9810]Secondly, we have the regal Layz!:[/b][/color] [indent]Layz loves nothing more than fantastic wording and noble syntax, with a dash of whimsy and word play! She may seem haughty and snobbish at times, but she truly enjoys hearing all the lovely poems presented! Be daringly creative! Let your imagination flourish! As they say, the sky's the limit.[/indent] [b][color=#6a9810]Finally, our last judge, the suave Scrivello!:[/b][/color] [indent]Scrivello is very excited to be here, but even more excited to be able to hear all of your fantastic entries! They really enjoy poems on the positive side, but all other poems are just as good! As long as you have something interesting, enjoyable, and a touch "windy", they will love it![/indent] [center][img]http://i.imgur.com/ZjMl5UV.png[/img][/center] [center][size=4][color=#6a9810][b]Can I get a round of applause for Paintminion, Layz, and Scrivello?[/center][/size][/color] [i][color=#898989] Hoots and hollers resound and the spotlight shifts back to Swiatla [/i][/color]

[center][size=4][color=#6a9810][b] For our rules, let's hear a poem by our very own Paintminion. [/center][/size][/color] [center][img]http://i.imgur.com/CIuOsVb.png[/img][/center] [center][size=4][color=#6a9810][b]Got it, clear? Well, just in case it's not, here is the need to know:[/size][/center] [img]http://i.imgur.com/aQEPupJ.png[/img] [indent][size=3] [size=6]❊[/size] All Flights are eligible to enter. [u]One [/u]entry per individual. [size=6]❊[/size] Each Poem must include a title. [size=6]❊[/size] Each Poem’s central theme must be Wind. [size=6]❊[/size] Poems at a minimum must be 4 lines. * [size=6]❊[/size] The Poem must be the effort of the performing (posting) dragon poet. Simply put: It must be your own words! You [u]do not[/u] need to RP, but feel free to if you'd like! [size=6]❊[/size] The Poem can be any form, in English, please. No foul language, explicitness, or negativity against any person or persons. We refer you to FR Policy. [size=6]❊[/size] Please ping Eclipsa, Paintminion, Layz, Scrivello with your entry. [size=6]❊[/size] Deadline is April 5, 2013 23:59 (PST), before blowover. [/indent][/size] [right][size=2] Poems do not need to rhyme, be a specific form, or address a particular category. All poems are entered in the running for each place/category automatically. If you would like to abstain from prizes but share poetry you may do so. [/size][/right] *Clarification: Previously we did say that haikus are allowed if 2+ are entered. For the sake of judging we are discouraging collections of poems. [b]Please keep your entry to a single poem. [/b]Poems before 3/31 are exempt from this as we were not clear. [center][size=4][color=#6a9810][b]And before you ask: No, poems do not need to rhyme! We also ask that all poems be at least 4 lines. That means if you wish to enter a haiku, you'll just have to write two! Ahem, sorry that was awful. Do I get a prize for worst poem?[/size][/center][/b] [i][color=#898989]Paintminion laughs and answers: "No! But tell them what they can win!"[/color][/i] [center][size=4][color=#6a9810][b]Darn! You're right, let's get to the good part: the prizes![/center][/size][/color]

[center][size=4][color=#6a9810][b] Weave your words just right and you could be a winner of one of our fabulous prize packages. In addition to the prizes shown, each winner will have a choice of a dragon and familiar!

I'd also like to make a reminder to review the rules! We ask that all poems have a title, are at least 4 lines, and that you ping our judges and host. Thank you.

We've heard some great poems so far. The judges would like to make an important clarification. Each individual may enter a only single poem. We appreciate your creativity and willingness to share your writing, but please no collections. Poems entered prior to this clarification will be exempt since the rules were unclear. We would also like to add that if you have a question or questions, feel free to ask. Thank you! [/center][/size][/b]

After reviewing the entries the judges had to make some tough decisions. Without further ado, let me announce our winners: In first place: @HailfireAlicorn's [url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?p=mb&board=forga&id=1048550&pid=1048550&page=8#3427406]"The Eye of Your Storm"[/url] In second place: @TheInkheart's [url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?p=mb&board=forga&id=1048550&pid=1048550&page=4#3397467]"Time of the Wind"[/url] In third place: @Shrineart's [url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?p=mb&board=forga&id=1048550&pid=1048550&page=9#3441303]"The Calling Song"[/url] Let's have a big round of applause for our first, second, and third place winners! [/size][/color][/b] [i][color=#898989]Hoots, howls, whistles, and bells! All manner of noise is made to honor the dragons and their clans.

Praise Windsinger, what a wonderful contest. @Eclipsa ,@Paintminion, @Scrivello, and @Layz would like to thank everyone who participated and joined in the celebration. We know how difficult it is to share your work with the world and appreciate the time and effort you have all given to your poems. We look forward to seeing you next year? :) Now we end our contest and disperse. Fly away home to your clans. The Windsinger thanks you for your words and will keep you in his favor. [/size][/color][/b] [i][color=#898989]The audience applause is loud and joyful. Swiatla stands aside and allows each judge to bow before taking a final bow himself. The lights turn off but the music plays on, sending the crowds off with a playful tune. [/i][/color]
