- Either official language of Canada is acceptable, though if the video is in French, an English-dubbed or-subtitled version is required. Videopoems may originate in any part of the world.
- Please submit by sending the URL for your videopoem along with a brief bio, full name, and contact information to hshaley@emspace.com. There is no official application form nor entry fee.

I would like to submit three short videopoems for your consideration.
I have posted them on youtube, and here are the urls:

I am a painter and animator living in Boston, Massachusetts. I have a long-standing interest in artists books, and have recently become interested in using text as a basis for animation.
These texts began as pages from an erasure project.
Thank you so much for taking the time to look at these. I am just beginning to explore this genre, and any comments would be welcome.

Martha, these are very interesting text animations, and I would encourage you to email the links to Heather as she requires for submissions to Visible Verse. For my part, I’ll certainly add at least the first and third to the queue for posting at the Moving Poems main site.
Oh, sorry, I got confused—I thought I was emailing heather. How embarrassing—But thank you! I’m so pleased that you’re posting them!
