It's Easy to Win!
Enter your haiku any time during the day. The photo above is for inspiration--a haiku specifically about the photo is not required. Although different syllable patterns are valid forms of haiku, to be eligible for the prize, your haiku MUST consist of three lines of five, seven, and five syllables. For example:
Morning light appears (five syllables)
The new day has awoken (seven syllables)
Nature stirs and sighs (five syllables)
How Winners Are Chosen
Each day, a random time (to the second) is chosen for the previous day's entries. The 21 entries closest to the random time are then examined for the proper syllable pattern, and those that fit the proper pattern are judged by a panel of Editors who select the prize-winner. On weekends and holidays, the closest submission to the random time (regardless of syllable pattern) is the winner.
The winner, and the other 20 entries closest to the random time (regardless of syllable pattern), are posted each day at 10:00 A.M. Eastern Time.
When to Enter
You may submit your entry any time between 12:00:00 A.M. to 11:59:59 P.M. Eastern Time. You may submit only one entry per day.
