Karo Glosa-pe,

This is the official announcement of the first Glosa Pin Literature competition. I’ll admit the prize isn’t much– As a dental technician I have learned to bend wire and am using the skill to make lapel-style pins resembling the Glosa symbol.

So far I am the main judge and will be helped by Wendy Ashby. If anyone else would like to be a judge, contact me.

This contest is open to everyone and not just the people of Glosalist. Please pass the news of the competition to people who may not have internet access. People can send entries to me snail- or e-mail:

GARY R MILLER 409 7TH AVE NW MANDAN ND 58554-2522 U S A

I will send all entries to Wendy as well. Rules follow.

Saluta, _ _ /. /\ Gary ##

To encourage everyone to write in Glosa.

GENERAL RULES

WHO may enter: The Competition is open to everyone of all ages. Judges may not compete.

PRIZES: The main prize is a gold-colored wire Glosa pin with certificate. One or more silver-colored wire pins with certificate will also be awarded. (See SPECIAL RULES below.)

ENTRIES: Entries must be in Glosa. Entries must be 2000 words or less. Entries cannot contain any of the items forbidden in “Judging” below. Entries must be received by March 31, 2010. The winners will be announced by May 30, 2010. Only one entry will be allowed per person. No corrections will be allowed. Entries can be submitted through the Glosalist Yahoo Group (glosalist(at)yahoogroups.com), but entries are not limited to members of the Group. The judge(s) will provide other locations to which entries can be submitted as email or conventional mail. The judge(s) will try to print all entries on Glosalist for public viewing.

JUDGING: Judging will be based on the following points:

1) Content (10 points): Entries need not be complete works, but may be parts of works. Entries may be fiction or nonfiction, original or translated works. Entries will be judged for clarity and easiness of understanding. Entries will be judged for their international appeal. Because this competition is open to people of all ages, strong sexual content, cursing, or other language inappropriate for children is forbidden. Any entry with a theme expressing hatred toward a particular ethnic or religious group is forbidden.

2) Vocabulary (5 points): This is a “Glosa 1000” or “Central Glosa” (as marked in the Glosa Internet Dictionary) Competition. Using words not found in these vocabulary lists will result in lower scores from the judge(s). The judge(s) will take into consideration that there is some variation in these vocabulary lists as translated by people of different languages and be lenient in these matters. For names of animals, plants, minerals and chemicals: taxonomy and scientific nomenclature (often derived from Latin and Greek) will be allowed.

3) Grammar (5 points): Good Glosa grammar such as proper use of PLU and U(N) and subject-verb-object sentence order is preferred. Entries should rely strongly on logic and be free of idiomatic language.

SPECIAL RULES FOR THE GOLD PIN

The Gold Pin is to be awarded to the overall winner of the Competition. Only one Gold Pin will be awarded per Competition; the judge(s) will determine how to break any ties. Winners of the Gold Pin may not receive the Silver Pin in present or future Competitions. Winners of the Gold Pin will be able to win further Gold Pins in future competitions.

SPECIAL RULES FOR THE SILVER PIN

The Silver Pin is intended for the best newcomers to Glosa. Anyone who has won a Gold Pin cannot receive a Silver Pin in present or future Competitions. Anyone who has received a Silver Pin in previous competitions cannot receive a second Silver Pin, but will be able to compete for the Gold Pin. In the case of a tie, more than one Silver Pin will be awarded.
