Alright, the details are finally here. Our third contest has officially started. Good cyclocross is poetry in motion, and can inspire good poetry as well. It’s time to get out your Robert Frost or Dr. Seuss books out and assemble up your best words and rhymes to impress the illiterate staff of Cyclocross Magazine with your best ‘cross poem.
Creativity is essential, length is not. Some possible types of submissions we are hoping for are Haiku, Dr. Seuss, Rap, Country Music, Cheer, Romantic, and Race Announcer.
Deadline is October 24, 2008 at 11:59 p.m. PST. Submissions should be emailed to contests [at] cxmagazine.com in a word document or text file.
We’ve got some great prizes for the best entries. First place gets first pick from the loot, then second place and so on. More prizes may be added.
