Submissions
Criteria and Guidelines:
All submissions
must be unpublished and not being considered elsewhere. All submissions must be
in English. If originally in another language, translation must be provided
with the original entry (if the author is not the translator, please indicate
the details of the translator and his/her consent to publication).
Haiku (and senryu) need to reflect the rules
and guidelines that are generally accepted in the global haiku community.
Basically, haiku in three distinct lines with good rhythm are favoured and may
include a season word (kigo) or a key word, a cut (kireji, by way of style, space or the use of punctuation or other)
but poems of 1, 2 or 4 lines with haiku essence and spirit will also be
considered. Ultimately, submissions will be judged on quality and originality.
