Welcome to the VDUX Happy Haiku Contest!!!
You can win 2 SBD, author rewards, and some free publicity. All you need to do is write a haiku!
Read below for more about the contest instructions, how to participate, awards, and how I'll select a winner.
@dbooster where are you?!
Contest Instructions
Write a haiku about smiles or smiling. Use previous haikus, if you have any!
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:
You may submit multiple haikus, but you need to make each haiku its own reply. Each one will be considered a separate entry. I've been slack on enforcement of this rule -- don't make me crack the whip!
Next contest will have a theme--do you have a suggestion? Tell me! Suggest a Theme.
How to Participate
- Reply below with your haiku. Deadine: 11:59 pm UTC, August 26, 2018.
- Upvote this post. Deadline: 11:59 pm UTC, August 26, 2018.
- Leave a smile here: How Much Is a Smile Worth.
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.
And, collect a bonus point for each person you tag in your contest entry. More players, more prizes, more fun!
Awards
Winner gets:
- 2 SBD
- 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.)
- Spot on my Vdux Haiku Contest List of Winners.
One runner-up gets:
- 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.
Feel free to reuse a haiku from the past and write as many as you want!
