PRIZEY Imagekind Haiku Contest!

Today we're launching a giveaway for a $100 gift certificate to Imagekind, online purveyors of fine art prints and custom-framed photographs who just lauched their new StoryFrame service - multi-photo custom framing where you upload your own pics (or port them over from Flickr), edit, crop and compose your own sequence in a wide array of layouts and image counts, and get the end result framed up in style.

Your $100 gift certificate would get you the three-photo set shown here, complete with your choice from over a dozen frame options and mat colors, with plenty to spare for other photo goodies. The site also has a lot of art prints that would look great in your kid's room!

How to Enter: To enter for a chance to win this $100 gift certificate, comment on this post with a haiku about the person or people you'd love to feature in a StoryFrame - your family, your friends, your cat, famous people you will never meet. No need to dust off that poetry dictionary, all you need to remember for the haiku format is that the poem should be three lines long, with 5 syllables on the first line, 7 on the second, and 5 on the third. (We're ignoring the general dictum that haikus deal with nature and such.)

Here's an example:

You've seen that fat cat
Falling off the table, right?
My cat's funnier.

Or how about this:

That eye roll you do
When I talk about my blog
Three pics, minimum.

Got it? Good! You have until 5 p.m. CST Feb. 22, 2008 to submit up to three haikus on different topics. You can post them all in one comment or split them up. Just keep it clean or your poem might get deleted!

PRIZEY HQ will narrow the field to up to seventeen of our favorites, and a panel of judges drawn from our PRIZEY.Fetch partners will narrow that down to five finalists.

The five finalists' entries will be featured on PRIZEYWinners from February 25-29, where PRIZEY readers can vote for their favorite. The polls will close that Friday at 5 p.m. CST and will be announced on PRIZEYWinners.

Here I go.....Beethoven is a dog
Our family loves him much
He is old and gray

Our children are fun
There is never a dull time
When they are around

Snow is beautiful
It is cold sparklee and white
Snowmen love it too

Mommy's little man
He sure loves to get dirty
Love his sweaty kiss

Husband, Daddy, Man
He is the best at all three
We sure do love him

Mommy needs a maid
And a shower would be nice
That too much to ask?

This was fun!

Then you stole my heart

You know me so well

You are my best friend

Child's smile, a kitten's purr, and
A lover's embrace.

For all that you do.

Before I met you
I'd forgotten how to dream.
Now I remember.

Life's a miracle,
my beautiful little son.
Thank You for the gift.

Looking back I see,
my weakness made me stronger.
I have overcome.

Wow! What a fun contest, and great learning experience (for me). Thanks!
