This year will be no different.<\/p>\n<p>And, since I know my Long Snappers can tend to be a bit apprehensive about doing any extra work, I have created a contest with the least amount of work in the history of Rubio Long Snapping.<\/p>\n<p><strong>RUBIO LONG SNAPPING HAIKU CONTEST<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>WHO<\/strong>: Any Long Snapper ranging from 8th grade to second year of JC that would like a chance to earn a FREE admission to <a href=\"https:\/\/rubiosblog.com\/registration\/camp-detail.php?product=104\" target=\"_blank\">VEGAS XXVIII<\/a>!<\/p>\n<p><strong>WHAT<\/strong>: You must create an original Haiku (s) that pertains to Long Snapping AND Vegas. For those of that don&#8217;t know, a Haiku is simply\u00a0a Japanese poem of seventeen syllables, in three lines of five, seven, and five. If you don&#8217;t know what a poem or a syllable is, bless your heart and start focusing more in school for the love of all that is holy.<\/p>\n<p>Two examples of haikus would be&#8230;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><em>Determination<\/em><\/strong><br \/>\n<strong><em>Can make the impossible<\/em><\/strong><br \/>\n<strong><em>Possible for all<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><em>A full day of fun<\/em><\/strong><br \/>\n<strong><em>Lots of eating and resting<\/em><\/strong><br \/>\n<strong><em>Football on the tube<\/em><\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><strong>PLEASE NOTE<\/strong>:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Be funny, be creative, don&#8217;t be bland.

If you have one haiku, you will have just one page for me. If you have two haikus, you will have only one page for me. If you have three haikus, you will have only one page for me.<\/li>\n<li>I will not accept faxed, emailed, scanned, texted or typed haikus<\/li>\n<li>You must have them mailed to me (yes, in an envelope with a stamp on it) to&#8230;<br \/>\nRUBIO<br \/>\n<span style=\"line-height: 1.5em;\">1104 Richardson Ave.<br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"line-height: 1.5em;\">Lewiston, ID. 83501<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>WHEN<\/strong>:\u00a0The entries must be in my mailbox by no later than March 16th, 2016.
