CONTEST IS NOW CLOSED!
Hello Coffee Lovers and ALL Hiveans!
Cinnamon Cup Coffee, with the sponsorship of @OCD, is hosting a Coffee Contest in celebration of International Coffee Day 2023.
Coffee plays a vital role in the daily lives of many, and every year, 1st October, International Coffee Day, is the day when coffee gets the focus it deserves.
Today, there will be celebrations around the world that highlight and demonstrate coffee traditions and usages. Many will explore the history of coffee and there might be an emphasis on coffee being a leading commodity and some of the day-to-day challenges and adversities of coffee farmers.
Through this community, we've read endless stories about coffee; From large coffee farms and traders to personal stories about private coffee farms in the author's backyards. Different methods of preparation and consumption and the celebration of coffee traditions have been passed down to different generations.
So, in light of this, Cinnamon Cup Coffee is hosting this contest, which is OPEN NOW and runs till Thursday 5th October at noon UTC.19:30 UTC.

Option 1:
Int’l Coffee Day Postcard Post:

OR
Option 2:
Int’l Coffee Day Thoughtfulness Post:

I'm against AI content and I'm not a fan of AI art for this contest.

The Espresso Patronum

I'm looking for original stories with heart. I enjoy reading posts that showcase the author's connection to coffee with engaging text and personal photos. I always check the comments section, and smile when I see genuine engagement!
I'm looking forward to reading reflective stories that honour the community's guidelines.
I'm not a fan of photo dumps or poorly formatted posts. 😁

A parody from a fictional book
I feel an energy flowing,
it runs through the entire body.
A caffeine moves through
the fibers of my soul.
It is not just coffee,
it is a source of
life and sensations,
which makes us friends,
brothers in a dark
and aromatic cup.
Long live to cinnamon cup coffee community.☕💐
A few verses for our beloved community. They have inspired me with their verses and I leave you some of my own.🤗✍️
Have a Supercalifragilisticespeali-coffee-licious Day🎉👏

Your entry was presented in a bad format.
Please re-read community rules and guidelines and see that the Coffee Team "Listens to Post" using the PeakD function, and we specifically ask authors NOT to present in column form with dual language posts. Presentation in such format disabled the PeakD function.
Thanks
Thank you very much for the information.
I have already put the proper formatting.
