Information
The Tanka Winter Contest is where you will be writing a tanka off the theme of, well, winter. It can be Christmas related, or just the season in general! It can be broad, it can be specific, as long as it has a relation to the prompt given. Anything winter will count towards the prompt; don't worry too much about missing it.
If you don't know what a tanka is, it's similar to a haiku, but two lines longer. There are five lines in a tanka with 5-7-5-7-5 OR 5-7-5-7-7 syllables accordingly; five syllables in the first line, seven syllables in the second, etc. After it is submitted it will be judged by a group of judges whom they are five of.
Prizes
There are prizes too! The prizes are, 1,500 points for the third place winner, 3,000 points for the second, and the first place winner earns 5,000 points!
I hope you decide to participate and to see all the lovely poems that are submitted! If you have any questions about the contest, submit them in PM to me rather than below in the thread to avoid clutter. I look forward to seeing your submissions!
