The entire UYD4Life staff met (in the ether) and voted on our top five HiakUYD finalists. Here they are in alphabetical order. It was so difficult to choose only five, and I was personally overridden a number of times—hard. I’m just glad we don’t have to decide the winner: THAT’S YOUR JOB! A link to a poll will be posted on here on Friday, Feb. 17 at 12 noon and will be open all weekend for voting. {The poll itself will be hosted on the front page of the HaikUYD thread on the Great Western Forum. It will be where my first haiku is now. See, not scary. Ok? OK!} Here they are!

Congratulations, finalists!

To the other contenders: your talents made our choice so difficult. I honestly didn’t expect nearly this kind of amazo talent and participation when I planned the contest. We will post your haikus (nominated or not) on the site occasionally to highlight your wonderful works, if that’s coo’. Additionally, just because you are not a finalist does not mean that you will not be included in the HaikUYD gift that makes it to the studio. Below is a look at the small start I’ve made in Calligraphing your poetry.


We look forward to many more contests with super silly, fun UYD prizes. We will continue to organize efforts celebrate UYD in new and creative ways. 

Love always, Sethro

[As usual, you can PM me, aighead, caitlin, fat dennis, landfill bill, or gene wildest in the uyd forum, @uyd4life twit, uyd4life@gmail.com, or message us here with questions or comments. UYDLOVE from all of us.]

AND PLEASE, KEEP THE HAIKUS COMING. JUST BECAUSE THE CONTEST IS ENDING DOESN’T MEAN THE FUN IS.
