For Issue 6 - Do submitted sonnets have to have a  rhyme  scheme and be in iambic pentameter and have a turn?
We refer you to Don Paterson's  introduction to 101 Sonnets -  '...what constitutes the true sonnet' 'no one can agree on anything but the fact that it has fourteen lines'  AND ' every really good sonnet seems to ignore at least one of the so-called rules governing the form'
FOR ISSue 6 Does Blank verse count as a form?
We consider blank verse to be a style rather than a form. A sonnet form  for example  in blank verse is fine, successive lines of iambic pentameter not contained in a fixed form is not  what we are looking for in this isse.
