This year, in addition to the regular competition, we will also be having a
Haiku contest!
This article will answer all your questions about this contest:
What is a Haiku?
A Haiku is a short poem, originally from Japan. It built up of three lines of words. The first line contains 5 syllables, the second line 7 syllables and the third line 5 syllables. Last years winning Haiku by Diblover111 is a good example:
This is a haiku. (5 syllables)
I wish I had a pencil, (7 syllables)
But I have a pen. (5 syllables)
Haiku’s are traditionally about seasons or nature, but since we are all modern people, and we love artistic freedom, the Haiku’s for this contest can be about anything you want.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
How can I enter?
To enter the Haiku contest, you will have to follow these rules:
1. Your poem must be a Haiku. In contrary to last year, we will be strict regarding the number of syllables. Poems that not meet this requirement will not be entered in the contest.
2. Don’t use Haiku’s that you have posted online before. We will be checking for plagiarism and online names are always hard to track down. If we find your Haiku somewhere else online, it will not be entered in the contest.
3. You can sumbit up to 2 Haiku’s per user. If you want to only enter one, that’s fine too, but two each is the maximum.
4. Your Haiku(‘s) must be submitted before July 1st! All poems entered after that date will not be entered in the contest.
5. Send your Haiku(‘s) in a personal message to me, link. Do so by clicking on ‘Send a Message’ on my profile page. The subject of that message must be: *Your username*’s Haiku entry 2011.
How will the winner be chosen?
There will be special Haiku contest judges who will judge all submitted Haiku’s. They will chose their six favorite Haiku’s. Those will be posted as a pick, where the users of Fanpop will select the winner.
