**As always, all members are allowed to invite good poets they may know to join the group**
________________________________

For the new entries: add a BIOGRAPHY no longer than 200 words, written in 1st person, stating clearly:

First name
Family name
Nationality
Country + Year of birth
City/Country where currently living

Note: for publishing and copyright issues, we need to know the real name of all the poets. You can of course add your 'nom de plume' - pen name.

The copyright of the poems will remain in the hands of their Authors, but all Participants will accept to make us free to publish the ebook at no cost and without any other obligation on our part than to publish the poems selected (the acceptance of this point will be attested, by each Participant, by simply sending their poems). To make it clear: by submitting their poems the Authors agree to grant non-exclusive world rights to Fabrizio Frosini and 'Poets Unite Worldwide' for publishing the submitted poems in books, without fee, so long as the Authors are credited --this does not prevent the Authors from publishing their poems anytime, anywhere, by themselves, or from granting others the right to do so.

All participants will receive their own copy of the ebook (file PDF or EPUB).

NO FEES are requested.

A Judging Committee will decide if the poems are worthy to be accepted for publication.

Best regards
Fabrizio Frosini

** N.B. [All members are allowed to invite good poets they may know to join the group] :

In particular circumstances, also poems by ** non-registered members can be accepted, but in this case, to comply with copyright rules, the Presenter (a member of 'Poets Unite Worldwide") can't take any reponsibility (regarding copyright). Therefore, the Authors need to send an email to Fabrizio Frosini and/or Pamela Sinicrope, through their own account, specifying that they accept the points above [the new entries must accept and follow all the points described, in particular those highlighted; otherwise, their poems will be discarded].
