Biweekly Haiku Contest VI
Rules and Entry Information
1.) Post here saying that you want to enter and you’ll be accepted. The cap for entries is slated at twenty contestants per round, and signups will end as soon as that number has been met, the deadline for entries has passed, or the thread sits for several days without any new entries (during which private submissions may be accepted via PM to me).
2.) Participation simply requires entrants to write a short poem in the style of haiku (the alternating “Five-Seven-Five Syllables” per line format) and post it here as an entry, though submitting them via PM or Profile Message to me is fine too. All poems are due by the second Thursday after this thread has been revealed, and voting begins once the deadline has passed or all entries are made. Submissions are final, but if I feel a poem should be revised slightly (or if they want to replace it with another version), I’ll do it with the writer’s consent.
3.) Each poem for the contest must follow the selected theme for the competition. Due to artist’s having different interpretations of ideas, no haiku will be disqualified for writing about divergent topics so long as the theme is tied in somehow (if it isn’t, then you might get disqualified for the duration of this round depending on how I feel about the situation). This contest’s theme is Childhood Comforts.
4.) Voting will run for three days and be open to all members of PokéBeach. Each person will be allowed three votes for their favorites. All participants are expected but not required to vote as well; however, you are not allowed to vote for your own (if I catch you doing so, you’ll be docked a point).
