JUDGING CRITERIA
1. The idea or the theme of the poem must be chosen carefully. Write about what you are most passionate. Best poems stem from poet’s own experiences and surroundings. Remember that!
2. The title of the poem must be striking and unique. It is the face of your poem, so give it some thought.
3. Language is important but don’t focus too much on vocabulary. Difficult words don’t make a good poem, effective words do.
4. Most important is that you express what’s in your heart. If the poem is close to your heart, it will make an impact on the judges.
