Yes, the contest has gone into the judging phase. I think I will decide the finalists (6 users), then have you guys vote on the most epic comment ever. I predict all the codes to be sent out to the winners in about.. 1.5-2 weeks from now.
Although I do have a finalist in the "miscellaneous" category that I have picked just recently.

Hello. I read your thread on the MineCraft forum and subscribed to your channel. Here's my entry in your contest.
To TheHamthebam and His Generous Offer to Giveaway Minecraft Codes
Today I write to you to say
I want to have a Minecraft key
Asked in a poetic and humorous way
To be able to play for free.
When MineCraft first appeared
People thought it was a silly fad
I played the trial, wasn't what I feared
And actually quite far from bad.
I liked immensely
the bricks and the blocks
I played it for hours
"This game really rocks!"
However it was missing something
TNT wouldn't boom
The worlds were too small
There was not enough room
But Lo, at the top of the page!
A bubble that proclaimed
"Click to pre-purchase the beta!
Get the full game!"
My mind raced as fast as the cursor
(The page loaded significantly slower)
What was the price of this magnificient---
WHAT??? 14.95 euros?!
That's at least 20 dollars!!
So....
Now I sit at my desk
with my keyboard out front
As you can see I'll do near anything
to get what I most want.
I dream of the mountains
the rivers and trees
the rocks and the fountains
the flowers and the bees
They're all ordered and blocky
beautiful too
a whole 'nother world
bright and new
The hills blossom,
the green trees appear
I see a beach
The ocean is near!
My pick is ready,
my shove willing
Oh crap there's a creeper
Run for the hills!!
Minecraft is a wonderous game
with picks, swords, and creepers
pigs and sheep and wolves that are tame
and with your key I intend to go deeper
To the caverns that lie under
the feet of the sheep
TNT will tear asunder
the obstacles of the deep
To the oceans and lakes
the ponds and the caves
To traverse the tunnels
that twist like a snake
To the nether world covered
in monsters and flames
I'll travel,
Til my last heart is smothered
and I start a new game.
I'll respawn and see
the wonderful world
But this will only be
if you (please) give me a code.
So I leave you, reader,
with a final note:
I really like your channel.
I really like MineCraft.
Thank you for your time.
This brought a tear to my eye.
