Igneous Rock Gallery Haiku Contest Guidelines:
1) Your haiku must be written in English and follow the basic tenants of haiku composition.
A proper haiku has certain elements. You can scratch the surface of what there is to know about haiku here.
Please use the traditional English style three line 5/7/5 syllable format. Remember the seasonal reference for the contest! This reference need not be overt, as in naming the season, for instance. It can be subtle and suggestive.
The contest is quarterly, so your haiku's seasonal reference should apply to the current season.
2) Your haiku should capture the essence of our products.
There is a lot of good, raw material to work with here. The rocks are 45 million years old. Our products have a natural and wilderness theme.
Natural forces, lava, fire and water are good fodder, and yet, our products are also very restorative. Their timeless beauty evokes thoughts and feelings of peace, relaxation, well-being and bliss... also good fodder for haiku.
3) Your haiku must be original.
Your haiku is your intellectual property, however, by entering the contest your consent for us to publish it on our website is implied.
4) Seasonal contest submission deadlines are:
Spring - June 1st.
Summer - September 1st
Autumn - December 1st
Winter - March 1st
