I was given an entry code. Does that mean that my poem was successful?
Yes. The code could be used to access your portal for the purpose of editing your submission before the deadline.
I was given no code at submission and I do like to modify my entry. Thanks.
I mean the poem submission
Kudos to the organisers.
May work continue

How can i re-edit my poem
Good morning mr Kolade Olanrewaju, I have been trying to register for this poetry competition for days before now, but I have been meeting frustration upon frustration.
I have tried many times on my smart phone and the server just keeps refusing to respond.
I have also tried on a laptop many times but all to no avail as well. I have been preparing for this competition and I have made many sacrifices for it, before now. I just can’t sit back and watch all that effort and time go down the drain.
The entry date closes 15th April. Please what is the matter and what can be done for me? Thank you Sir..
please i submitted and i was given a pin but i recieved no email
Maximum respect to your amiable office sir, i have been trying to re~check the portal but nothing was showing up. Even the entries, nothing was said about the result.
I wasn’t given an entry code but I submitted.I want to know if the submission was successful
How do I know if I made it to the top?
please when will the result be release?
When will the results be announced? We need to know.
