Sudden Impact: Battle Of The DUP Superheroes!
Poetry Contest Description
Face-off for the big winners around here!

So now that we've had some competitions for the newbies/people who have yet to win, let's have one on the opposite end of the poet-spectrum, just for the Superhero-Poets!
How do you know if you're a DUP Superhero? If you have, hmmm, let's say at least 25 wins to your name. Sound like a good cutoff? I think so. So that means, you must have at least 25 wins in order to compete, and your assignment, should you choose to accept it, is to write a poem about your favorite superhero, or from their standpoint. Here's a listing if you have trouble choosing:

Two entries max, no collabs (because you want this one all to yourself!), one week, any style/length, and the rest of us below 25 wins get to vote the winner.
So get your superhero powers on, all you Batmans, Wonder Women, Spidermen, etc. and get writing!

When you say 25 wins, do you mean 25 First place finishes, or 25 trophies that could be 1st, 2nd or 3rd? Not that it really matters to me, I don't have the numbers or the ego to enter such a competition, even though I have already written a poem about Thor, and some prose as well. But considering some of the favoristism I have seen in poetry contests here in the past, I am not so sure 25 wins makes anyone a superhero on DUP. I might use another word, but that's for a forum that isn't a contest. I really just want to clarify the rules...

25 first place wins--if you see a 25 or greater next to your username then that's what you go by. Superhero qualification-- it's all in good fun, and I had to pick something for a cutoff. Thanks for asking and please don't sour this with snark, before it even gets going. It's a bit tongue in cheek, there is no favoritism on my part and I have plenty more comp ideas coming along as I'm able to set them up.
; but I'm looking forward to the poetic "battle" between the heavyweights - getting my popcorn and soda ready 
I vote for Hemi. Oh wait, he's only got 7. Okay, Judas. Damn, he's also got 7. Maybe crim. Nope. 15. I know, I'll vote for Rachel. Shit, 14. Mrs. Gemini and dp only have one each and my sweet angel only has 3. Holly don't have shit. None of my heavyweight super heros seem to qualify. Booooo!!!
I'm just fucking around Madame. Cool idea! I think Strider's the only one to crack 50 so far. Lep and Grace should qualify. Maybe Jesta, diddi and Jack. Anyone else over 25?

I'm suggesting a Super Villains comp should also be run for DUP poets with under 25 wins. The top 3 winners from each of the heros and villains comps then do battle.... is that idea too evil???
Oh, another great comp idea MadameLavander... sorry to highjack your comp.

You sort of read my mind Alexander! I was going to throw up a superheroes and villains comp for everyone, but that's a good idea, too. I'm not really getting any voting interest in the First Win comp, so I'm just gonna close that one out and set up another, but looks like the website is having difficulty right now and I presently can't choose a winner for that one. Will check back later today to see if all's fixed...
In the meantime, what would everyone like to see for the next comp I put up--Alexander's idea, or just a general superhero/villian comp? PM me to let me know, so we don't derail this one too much!
