Calling All Poets!!!

Quote:

OUCH and the Newsletter Team is sponsoring a Poetry Contest!!! We would like to encourage all clusterheads and supporters to submit their original entries on what it’s like to be a clusterhead or supporter. We plan to set up a viewing gallery at the convention for people to see the entries. Hopefully, the doctors and other visitors to the hotel can see these and come away with a better understanding of our condition, so stoke up the fires in your souls and stir up the creative juices and get your entry in today!

Here is your chance to maybe make a difference. With all the medical personnel and other hotel guests around, who knows but that your entry may be the one to touch a special spot and cause great things to happen.

Please send your entries to: Multimedia File Viewing and Clickable Links are available for Registered Members only!! You need to

or

by June 15, 2008.

Disclaimer: By submitting your entries, you are stating that it is an original work created by you and you are giving OUCH permission to publicly display your work.

Reply #8 - Jun 2^nd, 2008 at 11:25am Thanks for that, Gator, and I'll certainly be helping any way I can. My biggest regret since falling victim to ch.com is that I never collected the poetry as it happened. This will help a lot.

Since the poetry will be displayed at the convention, we are going to let the convention attendees and other visitors be the judges. The people viewing will be asked to name their favorite and the winner will be announced at the Banquet Festivities as well as on the OUCH Board and here on ch.com.

Reply #21 - Jun 5^th, 2008 at 2:48am Thanks for the deadline info. I know that I have few ch poems, but what I didn't recall that also have about 20 notebooks and absolutely no recollections which one of them contains those poems...So it will take a while to find them. But this is exciting! Sanna
