This week’s ABUS lock contest – Best Haiku

By Lesli Cohen @lesknits · On October 8, 2013

This week’s Cyclismas/ABUS Locks contest is looking for the author of the best bike lock haiku. The winning prize is a Granit X-Plus Bordo.

To enter, write a haiku in standard 5-7-5 format about locking your bike, only one entry per contestant per contest, so make it good! Tweet it and @ mention @ABUS_Locks and @Cyclismas, or post it on the Cyclismas Facebook page and hashtag it #lockhaiku.

Entries will close Friday, October 11 at midnight EST. All submitted entries will be reviewed and judged by our “expert” panel consisting of myself, Joan Hanscom of ABUS Locks, and Dan Ellmore of Ellmore Consultancy.

The winner will be announced on Monday, October 14 and winners will be notified by Twitter/Facebook and announced on both social media platforms. We will then make arrangements to send the lock to the winner by mail.

Employees of ABUS Locks and Cyclismas are ineligible, obviously. Contest open to U.S. residents only.
