Win 1.5 SBDs in VDux's Haiku Contest About Food

vdux (61)in #contest • 6 years ago

Welcome to the VDUX Haiku Food Fest!!!

It's cold here and not snowy but WINTER for sure. Shall we write haikus about this? Or would that be unfair to our friends in the Southern Hemisphere?

Yes, that would. That would be unfair. Let's write about food, instead. BTW Merry Christmas and Feliz Navidad to all who celebrate!

Read below for more about the contest instructions, how to participate, awards, and how I'll select a winner. As always, every haiku you write could get you the 1.5 SBD winner's prize.

Contest Instructions

Write a haiku about food (bonus points for mentioning a food from your local culture).

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:

Pumpkin season's done.
Frosty mornings kill their vines.
We eat pumpkin pie!

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

This theme comes from @beatking13, who's getting .005 SBDs from me just for the idea. Next contest theme will come from @theironfelix but I'm not telling anybody until after this contest closes.

How to Participate

Reply below with your haiku. Deadine: 11:59 pm UTC, December 29, 2018.
Upvote this post. Deadline: 11:59 pm UTC, December 29, 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 helps all of us.

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:

1.5 SBD
One free resteem from me for any post. (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 resteem from me for any post. (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 -- the list keeps growing!
