Alfred Alexander Gockel was born in Ludinghausen, Germany in 1952. From his earliest days on, he was fascinated by the magic of colors on paper. This talent and enthusiasm resulted in the release of his first art work by a German publisher at the age of 8. The bright colors and the graceful motion of his characters mark Alfred’s Red Romance II. A perfect reflection of his own outer and inner-self.

New Judging And Popular Voting Format

Still - Splashhall Poetry Members choose by our popular voting system. BUT NOW we are adding the judging expertise of the Rollin Thunder Editor's and Guest Editors from various poetry organization, ezines and magazines. Each challenge will include a different mix of Editor's, up to three (3) judges each challenge.

How It Will Work

Judges will award 4 poems a score of 1 to 4. SplashHall Members will then vote for those 4 poems and, based on most votes, each poem will be scored 1 to 4.

Then the scores for both the Judges top (scored on merit) picks and the SplashHall Members top (popular votes) picks will be added together, creating a Top Poem (First Place) and a Runner Up (Honorable Mention). Ties, should there be any, will be broken and decided by the Judges.

Example:

-------- Judges ---- Members ------Totals
Poem A .... 2 ............. 2 = ...............4
Poem B .... 1 ............. 4 = ...............5
Poem C .... 3 ............. 1 = ...............4
Poem D .... 4 ............. 3 = ...............7

Poem D would be awarded First Place and Poem B would be awarded Honorable Mention.

Award Banners are given to First Place and Honorable Mention.To enter your Red Romance Dancing poem in CafeRg's Splash Picture Poetry Challenge, muse the picture and post your Red Romance Dancing poem or prose Post Your poem In This Forum [Here]
