VDux Haiku Contest and Tangooooo!

vdux (61)in #contest • 6 years ago

Welcome to the VDUX Haiku Contest -- Let's Tango!!!

Tango is not necessary to win 2 SBD, author rewards, and some free publicity. All you need to do is write a haiku!

Applause for @felixgarciap who supported the contest with a very generous donation of SBDs.

If you also want to donate, I use ALL donations to support the prize winner(s), none for me. When you transfer SBDs, include memo "for the contest."

Read below for more about the contest instructions, how to participate, awards, and how I'll select a winner. I'll announce Previous Contest Winner soon.

Contest Instructions

Write a haiku about worms. Real or gummy or imaginary or a German city.

This must be a one-stanza, traditional 5-7-5 haiku like the ones described here: http://www.kidzone.ws/poetry/haiku.htm . Here’s an example:

Hot and sunny day.
Worm got lost on the sidewalk.
Didn't make it home.

You may submit multiple haikus, but you need to make each haiku its own reply so I can upvote each one.

This contest's theme comes from @tygertyger -- thank her for the suggestion! She's getting .005 SBDs from me just for the idea!

How to Participate

Reply below with your haiku. Deadine: 11:59 pm UTC, August 17, 2018.
Upvote this post. Deadline: 11:59 pm UTC, August 17, 2018.

That's it! But...

You should also resteem this post to increase the winner's prize and give yourself some free exposure! You can participate without resteeming -- I don't give preference -- but if you do resteem, it only helps you.

Also, post your entry on your own blog! Mention @vdux and I'll give you an upvote and resteem your post.

And, collect a bonus point for each person you tag in your contest entry. More players, more prizes, more fun!

Awards

Winner gets:

2.0 SBD
One free resteem from me for any of the winner's posts. (You choose the post. There's no time limit but I reserve the right to refuse resteem any post I consider offensive or indecent -- I'll simply ask you for a different, non-offensive post.)

One runner-up gets:

0.2 SBD
One free resteem from me for any of the winner's posts. (You choose the post. There's no time limit but I reserve the right to refuse to resteem any post I consider offensive or indecent -- I'll simply ask you for a different, non-offensive post.)

How I Will Select the Winner

Within 2 days after the deadline, I will read all entries and choose a winner and runner-up. While I'll take upvotes into consideration, my selection will reflect my personal preference based on the entries you submit.

Feel free to reuse a haiku from the past and write as many as you want!

Also, give congrats to all who've participated in my previous contests:
