Mini Contest Alert!

✨Dust off your dictionaries! ✨ This Sunday is the second 2026 Mini Contest! We’ve got three more nefarious words from previous years’ contests to get you warmed up for the real deal: the 2-Day Contest, which takes place April 17th-19th.

✨12pm-6pm CT Sunday, March 22nd✨
✨3 words, 6 hours, 1 winner✨

Sunday at 12pm CT we’ll release 3 words. You have six hours to use those three words to write a poem and send it in to us.

In order to play, you must be registered for the 2-Day Poem Contest. If we select you as our winner, your poem will be featured on our social media, and you can choose between having your registration reimbursed or gifting a free registration to a friend!
