Discord Spoken Word Contest Episode #5|| A Christmas Tale

wolfgang-alphaPosted for Everyone to comment on, 5 years ago4 min read

Hello everyone,

Hope you are all doing okay and enjoying the merriments that come with the season. I am definitely enjoying it, as it has been a very very long Saturday filled with laughter and joy.

I'm sure most are surprised as to why the dsw announcement post is out on a Saturday for a show held on a Sunday. The reason is that, after the last show, I got feedback from a few of the participants that it would be better if the theme was announced a day before the show. So I thought I should give it a shot and see the outcome...

Actual show holds tomorrow (Sunday) by 6pm gmt.

How it works.

For those who are just finding out, this contest is quite simple. Every week a post would be dropped containing the theme of the contest . Participants are to come up with a poem or a short story/prose using this theme. Then during the show, which holds the next day contestants are to introduce themselves, tell us what the theme means to them and share your entry on voice.

Yes!!! You have to read it for us to hear.

The aim of the show is to create both a learning and challenging environment to help us all become better writers and unleash the spoken word poet laying domant in us. So come prepared to learn, to be better, to win and to have fun all at the same time.

Note that you are not allowed to post this your entry for the contest until after the show, and Dsw has to be your first tag when posting it.

Prompt for this week is
‘***A Christmas Tale ***’
