Is free verse allowed?
Yes. As long as it fits the other guidelines.
What if it’s 15 lines???
Then it wouldn’t qualify
Also you’ve said to submit in word format but the form does not have the option to update a pdf. It says to paste the Poem.
Hi. Thank you for the observation. The page has been updated. You need to paste the poem directly onto the form.
