:wave: Hey everyone! We are back for NaPo Challenge 2 at NaPoWriMo I'm SO pleased to say we have well over 10 entries for Challenge 1. It's awesome to see so many people participating. It's going to be tough to judge so many good entries. Challenge 1 closes tonight, and once we have our winners, we will post an announcement. I hope to have the winners announced by Wed..Thursday at the LATEST. 

Anyway, we are ready to unveil our second challenge of the month! :la: This is one I discovered when searching online, and I think it's wicked interesting. I hope you all will too. :heart: 

Challenge 2

write a “social media”-style poem. Namecheck all of your friends(if you wish). Quote from their(or your) texts, tweets, FB status updates, twitter accounts, and blogposts, and the back of the cereal box on your breakfast table. The poem is about you and you are about what you say, think, talk, eat. You might end up with a poem that seems bizarrely solipsistic (like the internet itself, maybe?), but there might also be a spark there of something live and fun and present (like the verbal equivalent of a really great animated cat .gif). Feel free to go as out there as you wish, but please make sure to have it tie in to social media in some way. 

Edit: I didn't think of this until someone commented. If you don't actually have/use social media, that's perfectly okay. This isn't to put your personal information out there. You don't have to use real statuses/tweets/etc. Just use what you know of social media and make your poem that way. If you WANT to do it true-to-life, and use real statuses and all that--by all means. But you aren't obligated to, and we don't want anyone to feel like they have to put their business out there or that they can't participate because they don't use social media :) 


Rules

:bulletblue: The poem MUST be new as of April 11th (so no using old poems that might fit).
:bulletblue: You must mention in your artists comments how social media is incorporated to make it a "social media" style piece. This can be just a sentence or two. 
:bulletblue: You must also add that it is NaPo Challenge 2 for :iconnapowrimo: (or some variation. I just need to see it is for our groups challenge)
:bulletblue: It must be sent as a note by the deadline of : Monday, April 18th at 11:59 PM Pacific Time.

So how this works: like last time...once the deadline hits, we will NOT accept any late submissions.  As long as you've sent it by the deadline, you're good to go. It doesn't matter if we've gotten around to responding or not, we'll see the day and time in which you submitted it. :) The admin team, and myself, will go through the entries and pick a top 3. A journal will go up right after announcing the winners. The challenge for Week 3 will go up Monday Evening, so that people can get started on that, instead of waiting for the last bit of the deadline to hit. 

Note: : These pieces CAN be entered into the gallery to count as a regular Napo submission. However, in order for it to count for the challenge, you must also note it to us. If you just submit it to the gallery, it will not count. So please make sure to do both! You can, alternatively, just use the challenges theme for inspiration and just submit it to the gallery (if you don't want to be apart of the challenge itself). But with these awesome prizes, why not just note us and see if you win? :o

Prizes  

:bulletred: Feature in the announcement journal for all three winners.
:bulletred: Winning piece on the front page of :iconnapowrimo: for the 1st place winner
:bulletred: 400 points (given out in may) to 1st place winner. 

Send any questions you have to the group via note, OR comment on this journal. 

Good luck, everyone!
