The Mac Observer Announces a New Macworld Contest

Durham, NH (PRWEB) November 19, 2008

The Mac Observer will be holding a Haiku contest and awarding two Conference Passes to attend Macworld Expo in San Francisco, CA.

In order to enter the contest, send in an original haiku by November 23, and if yours is chosen as the best by The Mac Observer staff, you'll win a Power Tools Conference pass valued at US$ 925. One runner up will walk away with a Users Conference pass worth $ 350.

Here are the contest rules:

Your haiku must be original.
You may submit as many haiku as you want, and it doesn't cost anything to enter.
Your haiku can be on any topic, but any that relate to The Mac Observer, the Mac, Macworld Expo, or anything else Apple-related are more likely to catch the staff's eye.
All entries will be judged by the TMO staff. They have the final say on who wins.
Winners are responsible for their own travel expenses and other costs.
Winners will be notified on November 26 via email and on the TMO Web site (well-ahead of the December 1 cutoff for Macworld Expo Early Bird pricing).

For more details, and to find out how to enter, go to: http://www.macobserver.com/article/2008/11/10.13.shtml

A haiku is a poem made up of three phrases with five, seven, and five syllables respectively. Here's an example:
