    • Both ebooks
  • 4th and 5th prize winners will receive:
    • An Amazon gift card worth $25

    • Both ebooks

Winners will be selected by popular vote, but one randomly selected entry will receive:

  • An Amazon gift card worth $25
  • A signed print copy of Ventricle, Atrium

BONUS: If 20 people enter the contest by the Wednesday, Feb 22nd deadline, I'll select not one, but TWO random winners!

The Rules
To participate in the contest, all you need to do is select one of my poems from this website and record a video of yourself reading or reciting that poem. Upload your video to YouTube and fill out the form at the bottom of this page. Once you've submitted your entry, share it with as many of your friends and family as you can and get them to vote for your video. The entries with the most votes will be selected as the winners.

Some important details:

  • You must appear in the video.
  • Your video must contain one of my poems, selected from my poetry page.
  • You must give credit to Gabriel Gadfly in your video, either in the title of your video, the video description, or in the recording itself. A link in the description to http://gabrielgadfly.com is highly encouraged.
  • All video entries must be submitted by 11:59 p.m. Central on February 22nd.
  • Voting will continue through 11:59 p.m. Central on February 29th, and I'll announce the winner on March 1st.
  • The randomly selected winner will be chosen using Random.org, after the five primary winners have been selected.
  • You can enter as often as you like, but each entry has a separate vote count, and you can only win once. Only your first entry will count for the random drawing.
