VDux Contest #3 -- Win 2 SBD, Upvotes, and More for Writing 17 Syllables About…

vdux (61)in #contest • 7 years ago

You're on Steemit so you probably enjoy the many contests.

I recommend you follow @moneyinfant to hear about all of them. Also check out some really interesting writing prompts from these guys: @firepower, @terrycraft, @dpatcher, @lymmerik, @mermaidvampire, @karenmckersie, and so many more!

If I had more time, I'd enter every contest. Instead, I started my own! If you have 30 seconds to spare and you can write 17 syllables, you can win 2 SBD, author awards, and some free publicity.

Read below for more about the contest instructions, how to participate, awards, and how I'll select a winner. This week's theme is courtesy of @acousticsteveo.

Contest Instructions

Write a haiku about soup. Yes, soup. Any soup. Anything you do with soup. Anything that has to do with soup. Possibilities are limitless!

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:

Vdux makes good soup
Easy recipes only
Simple is tasty

You may submit multiple haikus, but you need to make each haiku its own reply. Each one will be considered a separate entry.

How to Participate

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

Awards

Winner gets:

2 SBD
Half of this post's author awards
One free "shout-out" for winning
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:

One free "shout-out" for winning
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. So far, it's been very, very close call with lots of great entries to choose from. Feel free to reuse a haiku from the past and write as many as you want.

I run this haiku contest regularly so if yours doesn't win, try again next time.

Awesome job everybody who entered my previous contests. Read their haikus:
