Congrats Neil. Looking forward to seeing your Badrukk when finished

Thank you very much guys tough competition ! , Big respect to every one who entered , and thanks to EyeOf Horus for organising it and the mods as well hope we can do it all again in a months time

Alas, I discovered this thread a day too late to submit an entry.

Not that I think it would have beaten neil101 or many other of the entries. Ah well.

Congrats, Neil! Yours was my favorite as well, edging out the Eldar Sonnet in part because of how well you hit the theme, and in part because of his very brief third paragraph.

EyeoHorus, how about archiving these poems as an Article? "Ork Poems" and/or "First Dakka Poetry Contest", maybe?

Good job Neil. Congrats and get well soon.
And many thanks to EoH for putting these competitions together.

Ahh with poems the more the merrier I say.
I would like to start a new competition soon.

Mannahnin where would I archive them? Do you mean create a new dakka discussions article?

I was thinking of saving the poems and creating a powerpoint presentation/adobe photoshop job emphasising them.

When I have a website I'd love to get them onto a something nice there too.

Perhaps the mods could sticky a thread for active contests in the Dakka Discussions forum?

Just an idea...

I would appreciate that, will contact admins as the other competition seems to have been buried under the snow


Automatically Appended Next Post:
I've updated with a new competition here http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/0/331282.page#2200389

But for the meanwhile we can have submissions here!

Next deadline is Sunday 2nd January 8pm GMT

Guidelines:

This poem needs to be about the Goffs
I have included some Goff information below:

Some background:

"Ork Kultur is driven wiv violence and the most ferocious of all the Ork Clans are the Goffs. Goffs prosper in combat, particular close quarters, be it against another race or simply in-fighting with other orks. They are belligerent scrappers, prefering to get close and personal and see their foe chopped up into squig sized food stuffs. Goffs are also naturally larger than the other Orks and have a tendency to produce more ard boyz and nobz. Being larger Goffs will also Bully other Klans, giving them a natural advantage in da "survival of da strongest. Many of the great Ork Warlords to have risen to leada Waaagh! Originated from the Goff Clan.

To prevent hogging of future poetry competitions previous winners will not be allowed to enter the next competition. This is to allow equity and excellence to prosper.
