Frequently Asked Questions

How do I get started?
Start by signing up for an account Twitter and follow @twitlaureate. New poetry topics, voting, and winners will be posted here on the blog and automatically submitted to our Twitter account.

How do I submit my entry to Twitter Laureate?
Either at the beginning or the end of your tweet, simple include the hashtag “#4TL” (without the quotes) and we should be able to detect your entry through Twitter Search.

I’ve added the #4TL tag to my tweet, but it doesn’t show up in the Twitter Search. What should I do?
Aside from the moment of panic that you surely will have, you should first try to repost your tweet. If this doesn’t work, send a direct message through Twitter to @twitlaureate with the direct link to your tweet.

How can I see the other entries?
You can see all entries through Twitter Search on the #4TL tag.
