# Welcome to the VDUX Haiku Contest About Teenagers!!! 

Have you ever been 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, or 19 years old? Are you now?

Great! Write a haiku about it and you might win 1.5 SBDs _and_ have fun.

Read below for more about the contest instructions, how to participate, awards, and how I'll select a winner. As always, every haiku you write could get you the 1.5 SBD winner's prize. 

NOTE I will announce winners of the [most recent haiku contest](https://steemit.com/contest/@vdux/win-1-5-sbds-in-vdux-s-adventurous-haiku-contest) soon.

## Contest Instructions

Write a haiku about teenagers (you, your friends, or young people in general).  

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:

<center>**Acne and school tests.**</center>
<center>**Stupid friends and their drama.**</center>
<center>**When do I grow up?**</center>

You may submit multiple haikus, but _PLEASE_ make each haiku its own reply. Each one will be considered a separate entry. 

This theme comes from @shawnsporter, who's getting .005 SBDs from me [just for the idea](https://steemit.com/contest/@vdux/request-for-suggestions). Next contest theme will come from @poyim but I'm not telling anybody until _after_ this contest closes.

## How to Participate

1. Reply below with your haiku. Deadine: 11:59 pm UTC, January 18, 2019.
2. Upvote this post. Deadline: 11:59 pm UTC, January 18, 2019.

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 helps all of us.

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:
* 1.5 SBD
* One free resteem from me for _any_ post. (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.)

One runner-up gets:
* One free resteem from me for _any_ post. (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!

Also, give congrats to all who've participated in my previous contests -- the list keeps growing!
