5 Finalists for The iPad Haiku Contest Selected – Vote Now!
February 9, 2010
The iPad Haiku Contest voting is closed. @JulieVanK received first prize with @InSoOutSo and @lefauxfrog as runners-up. @luciuskwok and @jonacon remain honorary haiku finalists.
Last week we launched The iPad Haiku Contest to capture some of the quirky, well-informed, on-the-fly feedback we were hearing about the new tablet.
We’re offering $100 to the individual with the best haiku, and $25 each to 2 runners-up.
We received excellent response to the contest and had difficulty narrowing all the entries down to a manageable number—5 finalists—for open voting.
