Dear all,
Latest news:
the voting has ended!
Please feel free to continue posting Haikus! They won't take part in the contest, but they inspire our creativity
==
to celebrate the new Frozen-Coin-Thread (
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=411291.0 ) I'd like to start a poetry contest
The rules:
1. Please write a Haiku which is featuring the word "Frozen" or "Frozen Coin"
2. The language of the Haiku is your free choice! (This means: for non-English Haikus most users need probably translate.google.com, but that's ok. Not required but it would be nice: an English translation)
3. Post your Haiku during the next three weeks. Please include a Frozen-Address for rewards (or donations of fans). Last submission: end of January 2014 (your local time). I will post a "Contest Ended" statement at February 3rd, my local time). I will set up a voting for the best Haiku until February 10th (I may be a bit scarce on time then)
4. Simplified said is a Haiku a poem consisting of 3 lines with usually 17 syllables altogether (usually 5-7-5). For an example look at the end of the post, for the real definition of a Haiku please refer to:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haiku5. You can post more than one Haiku. Your Haiku with the most votes will partake at the rewards (only one reward per person)
Process:
- I'll think of some fitting duration for the voting depending on the number of submissions
- The voting rules will follow with the setup of the voting. The rules will include: no bought votes. Your own poetry.
- There are some liberties about what counts as a Haiku and what not, but I will rule out obvious "non-Haikus"
- If there are not enough submissions I'll forfeit the remaining rewards
The minimum rewards (*):
- 1st place: 200 FZ
- 2nd place: 120 FZ
- 3rd place: 75 FZ
- 4th to 10th: 15 FZ
(*) You can pile up the rewards by sending to the Haiku pot (address at the end of the posting)
The dates (once more):
- Until end of January 31st: post your Frozen-Haiku
- Until February 10th: voting starts
- Somewhen in February (date still open): voting ends
Here an example for a Haiku, quoted from

How to enjoy lovely
Cherry blossoms?
Have fun with it and good luck!
