1st POP MAPP Grand Finale Results

Member Art Pix Prompt ( MAPP ) wherein poets write a poem refercing a certain painting, it begun on sept. 2023 and on every friday an MAPP event is held. Almost 1,000 entries has been gathered and curated to 20 finalist . 

The scoring system operates uniquely: 

Judges select their top 5, with rank 1 earning 50 points, rank 2 receiving 40 points, and so forth down to rank 5 getting 10 points. Additionally, I assign individual scores ranging from 10 to 100 points, culminating in a total of 550 points. These points represent the collective votes of the judges rather than a judgment of the poems' intrinsic value.

Thanks to our respected judges, whose wisdom and judgment have enhanced the competition and raised the bar for literary excellence, each bringing a unique perspective and wealth of experience to the evaluation process..
