The Safalta Award aspires to be an official recognition of true poetic quality in our community. Safalta means success in Hindi-Sanskrit. This will be a contest held every weekend, with accumulative points, as in an on-going tournament of poets. This is an opportunity to pick your best piece of poetry each week.

Rankings
There are placing from 1-10 & points are accumulated and rankings are placed on my profile on a weekly basis. So a 1st prize would score you 10 points, 2nd place = 9 points, and so forth…. If you want to place well in the Tournament, submitting a quality poem each week would be key. What does this bring you as a writer? Exposure to your writing & a sense of quality competition. If these things do not appeal to you, the tournament may not be for you.

If we have too many contestants at a certain point, it will be moved to vote, since I can only judge objectively a certain # of entries. I hope to attract the best poets from this community. Feel free to give me feedback on my idea.

Good luck to all participants,

SN

Bio:

I'm a high volume poet that enjoys the interactivity of this supportive environment. I make an effort to review new poets and reciprocate reviews as much as possible.

I try to write every day, as it brings me joy. This community is very friendly and is currently fostering a lot of new talent. I like to call it the facebook of poetry.

Compassion and growth through our literary adventures to everyone.
