Vote for Your Favorite OBF Haiku!
The contest has ended! Thanks for playin’!
Here’s proof that Beer O’Clock listeners are creative! 
About 60 Oregon Brewers Festival Haiku (thanks, Laurie, for pointing out that “haiku,” not “haikus” is the plural of haiku) were submitted for a chance to win one of two $50 packages for two to the OBF — which includes two mugs, 40 tokens and an official program!
It was not an easy task, narrowing all the wonderful submissions down to 10 finalists. A crack team spent a good couple of hours over breakfast making the selections.
Now, it’s up to you, the Beer O’Clock public, to read the haiku that have reached this pinnacle, and vote for your favorite. The top two vote-getters will each win one coveted OBF package, a $50 value. Not bad for jotting down three little lines of prose!
The haiku are numbered here, and if you look to the bottom right of the BeerGoddess.com homepage, you will find a survey with a series of numbers that correspond to the haiku. Remember the number of the haiku you like best and then vote for that number in the survey.
It’s that easy!
Voting ends at 7 a.m. PDT, Wednesday, July 21. Winners will be alerted by e-mail and will be given instructions on how to collect their winnings at the OBF!
Good luck, and may the best haiku win!
Read the OBF Haiku Finalists after the jump!
Here are the finalist haiku. Again, to vote for your favorite, find the haiku’s corresponding number in the survey on the homepage.
