It's July 1st and for my birthday
month this year I'm running a tanka competition here on Swimming in
Lines of Haiku – The SILOH Tanka Contest. I hope you'll come and join me in celebrating my birthday and our vibrant haiku and tanka community! :)
Entry Details:
- One entry per person, to be posted in the comments section of this post.
- Please also put your name, country and email address underneath your tanka - you can use the (at) and (dot) format to avoid spam.
- Previously unpublished tanka only please; although it's okay to submit a tanka that has appeared on Facebook or your personal blog.
- All tanka will then be transferred to this post where entrants can share positive feedback on each others poems. (Please note this is not a place for critiquing work.)
- Please don't be concerned if you don't see your tanka on the page of entries - it may take me a day or two to do them as they come in, health permitting.
- The theme is 'Winter Dream' – however you wish to interpret it. My birthday is in the winter months here in New Zealand so I always associate winter with my birthday, and dreams are a very important part of my life. The words do not need to appear in the tanka. Have fun with it!
- Contest opens: Sunday, July 1, 2012 and closing deadline is Monday, July 23, 2012
- Judge is myself – Kirsten Cliff
- Winner will be announced on Tuesday, July 31, 2012 – My birthday :)
- Prize for the winner is 26 Tanka Films
(DVD) by Richard von Sturmer
- Please note you will need to provide your postage address should you be awarded the prize.
