Announcing Montana NORML’s $100 Haiku Contest!
Win $100 by submitting the haiku which best illustrates why marijuana should be legal for responsible adults. You can use imagery, metaphor, experiences, or just straightforward statements.
Submit your entry as a comment on this blog post. Please use the traditional English format with three lines (5-7-5 syllables is nice too, though we won’t be too picky). Your submission must be your own, original writing. This is designed to be a fun and creative way for folks to express sentiments about legalization. No advertisements, please.
The winner will receive a $100 cash prize. You need to provide a real email address with your submission in order to be eligible to win the cash prize (email addresses will NOT be published). The winning submission and finalists will be featured in the NORML newsletter and on the web site. By submitting your work, you agree that NORML has non-exclusive rights to reprint your submission in any format, including marketing materials, newsletters and other advertisements.
Deadline is 3/20/2010.
