Our third annual poetry contest is open for entries! And knowing how great the entries have been in previous years we are looking forward to reading some excellent Happy Anniversary Poems.
All Anniversary poems that are submitted will be published on to the Anniversary site, unless they are sad or offensive! Don't send them in if they make you cry in a bad way! Happy tears are of course always welcome.
First prize is $100 for the most popular anniversary poem and will be the one with the most votes. When you enter your poem and it is approved to go on the site we will send you an email with a link to your page on the anniversary site where your poem will be. At the bottom of that page is where your fans can vote for you.
The votes will be counted on Saturday 3rd March 2012 at 12.00 noon GMT and the winner will be informed on Friday 16th March 2012.
This year there will be two extra prizes of $50. One for the best Anniversary Poem for a Husband and one for the best Anniversary Poem for a Wife.
These will be the Happy Anniversary Poems that we at anniversary-gifts-by-year.com think are the best!
Closing date for all entries is 29th February 2012 at midnight GMT, and the winners will be notified on Friday 16th March 2012.
Do you have the knack of writing great poems that would be perfect to celebrate an anniversary? Then we would love to hear them!
