2. For the same reason, please add this book to your library and/or public reading list.
3. If you are not respectful to other contestants, you will be not allowed to participate or interact with this book in any way.
4. although thoughtful and civil discussion and debate of these topics in submissions is allowed and encouraged, we will not tolerate in our submissions: promotion and glorification of suicide or self-harm, promotion of hate speech, threats, bullying, promotion of homophobia, sexism, racism, etc, and any other harmful behavior will not be tolerated. (For an example, if your story is about a girl dealing with misogyny, and a discussion of that topic and its various implications, that is absolutely allowed. However, if your story is about promoting misogyny clearly through the narrator, your submission will not be accepted, and the Echo Awards is not a place for your work.)
5. Judging submissions and getting new prompts up takes time, and please be respectful of that.
6. There will only be 30 entries allowed per month. If you submit after we have reached that number, your entry will not be considered.
7. Sadly, entries will only be accepted in English.
8. In cases where one participant wins multiple contests in a row, prizes may have to be slightly personalized in fairness to both the admins and participant. All details for such transaction will be arranged over PM
9. We will not be accepting poems that overly-emphasis and/or revolve around NSFW content. It's perfectly acceptable as a background element and discussed in a thoughtful way, but not as the poems main purpose/driving conflict
10. The password is your favourite animal, please include it with your entry to prove you have read these rules. Note that the password will change around every month, don't freak out—as long as you entered the right password for the date you submitted, you'll be good.
