These rules apply to every poetry contest on Urdu Wali Poetry. By entering a contest, you agree to these rules and to our Terms of Service.
1. Free Entry
All Urdu Wali Poetry contests are completely free. No payment of any kind, including a donation or support payment, is required to enter, vote or win. Supporting the website has no effect on contest results.
2. Who Can Take Part
Any registered member who has signed in with a Google account may submit poetry to a contest. Each person may use only one account. Members under 18 years of age need permission from a parent or guardian to take part and to receive a prize.
3. One Entry Per Contest
Each member may submit one entry per contest, unless the contest page clearly allows more. An entry cannot be changed after it has been submitted.
4. Original Work Only
Entries must be the member’s own original poetry and must follow the theme or format of the contest (for example, 2 line poetry). Copied poetry, poetry written by other poets, or poetry made with AI tools will be removed and the entry disqualified.
5. Content Guidelines
Entries must not contain abusive language, hate speech, vulgar content, or attacks on any person, religion, sect or community. Such entries will be removed without notice.
6. Voting
The voting period for each contest is shown on the contest page. Votes are given by pressing the heart (like) button on an entry. Each account can vote only once per entry. Members may share their entry with friends on WhatsApp and social media to ask for votes. The use of fake accounts, paid votes, bots, or any other attempt to manipulate votes will result in disqualification.
7. Selecting the Winner
The entry with the highest number of valid votes when voting closes wins. If two or more entries have the same number of votes, the entry that reached that number first will be the winner. Results are announced on our website and social media channels within 3 days of the contest closing.
8. Prizes
The winner receives the cash prize announced on the contest page, in Pakistani Rupees (PKR). We will contact the winner through their registered email or WhatsApp. The winner must reply with their account details within 7 days, or the prize may be given to the next eligible entry. The prize is transferred to the winner’s bank account, EasyPaisa or JazzCash account within 7 working days of receiving their details. Prizes are funded by Urdu Wali Poetry, including through voluntary donations from our readers.
9. Your Poetry, Your Rights
You keep full ownership and copyright of your poetry. By entering a contest, you allow Urdu Wali Poetry to display your entry, your name and your profile on our website and social media, with credit to you.
10. Privacy
Payment details shared by winners are used only to send the prize and are never shared with anyone else. Read our Privacy Policy for more information.
11. Changes and Final Decision
Urdu Wali Poetry may change these rules, or change, pause or cancel a contest, if needed. Any change will be shown on this page or on the contest page. We reserve the right to remove any entry that breaks these rules or our Terms of Service. Our decision on all contest matters is final.
