What I liked: I've looked at this contest a couple of times before, with a view to entering it when I get the chance.

*Bulletr* Firstly, I like your presentation. The banner at the top of the forum page is really nicely done, with the water and pretty writing. Did you design it yourself? I also love the picture of a creepy house in your contest's window. The contest name of 'Spirits At Lighthouses' also draws your participant into the contest. I wonder, are all poems to be written in lighthouses? Or are there different kinds of houses.

*BulletR* I am also wondering if this contest is open at the moment? If you are looking to advertise it, maybe you could speak with Phoenix McKnight Author Icon and ask about a partnership in advertising with his Paranormal Romance Contest. These two would complement each other, I think. If this contest is open now, I don't see any prompt. But, entries should be within the contest genres of Dark and Mystery.

*BulletR* You have used the Brief Description section perfectly. That one sentence is what has piqued my interest in the past. I really like to write about hauntings and spooky occurrences. I also think you have great prizes for the winners. Your merit badges are all really pretty.


Suggestions: I have a few suggestions. Firstly, on the main page, "Well, here's a contest, you can write about anything and I will put the prompts here in the forum" This confused me because we can't write about anything; we have to follow the prompt, surely? Another place that is slightly misleading (and this may be just me saying this) is "When you give your best poem, you will get a 75K Maroon Awardicon and the Merit Badge." This reads as though everyone who enters their best poem will get a 75K awardicon and a merit badge. Which I don't think is correct. It is only the winner who gets these.

Parting comments: When this contest is open again, I will definitely try to fit in writing an entry. I like the look of it very much.
