Well ... normally I express my contest entries in iambic pentameter. However, I'm willing to make this one exception.

The OP erroneously refers to the date of the PAX panel as August 4th instead of September 4th.

Sweet deal, good luck to those that try for it!

So shouldn't we be hearing something about this since PAX is a week away?

Winners have been notified and we will be announcing them along with their Haikus at a later date.
