As hard as it may be to believe, I do not remember every single haiku that was entered. Thus, it's possible that a stray repeat made it through. I already filtered out several repeats, but one or two might have gotten through. It's not going to affect the tally process. I'm really not interested in divulging my ranking algorithm. Just relax, and know that all will work out. |

I'm still debating whether or not to release the statistics at the end of the contest, mostly because I don't want to hear any whinging in the forums about, "People don't understand my art!" or "Such and such is unfair!" However, I can tell you that the vast majority of votes align with each other. Meaning, the ones that are ranked high are generally ranked high by everyone. The ones that were disliked were voted similarly by most readers. I am accounting for time with the rankings. |

Can there be more than one person in a household entering the contest. I have 3 brothers and 2 sisters and we all want a shot at it. However I know that the contest is over, but for future concerns is that alright?

I just noticed that you wrote in the rules that the haiku had to follow the traditional 575 syllables rule, yet the link you provided to Wikipedia stated that modern haiku doesn't follow them anymore (not always, at least), and when I entered the contest I followed the instruction in the Wikipedia entry about haiku that you linked... ^^'
I hope my haiku will be accepted anyway even if they don't follow the traditional structure! I did use a nature theme for all of them though (even if it isn't required anymore in modern haiku I put it in my three entries anyway since it fitted Kenshin quite well) and, most importantly, the juxtaposition. 
If needed, I can modify my three entries for them to follow the 575 structure, but maybe it's too late for that...

So, erm, I was looking through the top 25 haiku, and... well, I noticed a little (but significant enough, I'd imagine) typo:
Is it possible for that bolded "word" to be corrected as "reign," as it was spelled originally? Thanks in advance. And Another Thing: I realized that after I voted and submitted the survey, I couldn't view the submitted haiku again. Is it possible to somehow post all 25 of those entries for public display again once the contest is over, or something like that? I'd love to go back and take another look at those haiku for fun... |

Are there gonna be one or two winners because it said that they're giving away two copies?
Also I'm happy to see that two of the ones I really liked got into the top 25! I didn't expect that lol. |

There is going to be one winner from the Top 25, and one winner picked at random. @Animerican14 Yes, sorry. I will fix both of those issues. EDIT: Okay, I fixed the first issue; working on the second. |

Do you have to be registered to vote for the top 25? Someone told me they weren't registered but still voted.
