I would like to submit this to the Poetry category:

It may initially appear to be prose, however it is inspired by some famous poems I revisited today, and it includes normal poetic elements such as rhyming.

Does that ā€˜prior workā€™ deadline require it to be written after that timeline, or is it sufficient that it is published to New Edenā€™s public after that date?

As I recall, itā€™s always been that if something was written but unpublished, it is still eligible.

So if you wrote something in January YC 123, but only published it in June YC123 then itā€™s fine.

Hrm. In that case, Iā€™m removing the access restrictions on a particular entry in my personal storage, as it no longer serves any operational security to keep it private.

Iā€™m entering Walking in Myth, an observational piece on humanity, nationalism, war and a nameless Floseswin city to the contest. I am somewhat unsure which of the four categories it fits best with, so the safest option would be Category Four: Opinion Piece.

Roughly eight thousand words, landing in Short Story classification in length. Recorded in YC122, unpublished to the New Eden public until right now. If thatā€™s not within the rules, let me know.

Edit: There are a few minor mentions of things of ā€˜improperā€™ natures, mature subjects and city life, adult audiences only.

For reasons we discussed, i am allowing this in the contest as an ā€œAudit Entry.ā€ Because it doesnā€™t quite fit within the rules as intended, it is not eligible for a main prize but it will be considered and rated by the judges. Thank you for entering!

Also as of this post, OP Updated with all entries to date. 3 days to go!
