haiku competitions

Haiku competitions are events where poets submit their short, 17-syllable poems, traditionally in three lines of 5-7-5 syllables, centered around themes like nature or emotions. Participants may submit their work to be judged by a panel or through public voting. These contests celebrate the art of concise, evocative poetry, encouraging creativity and mastery of the form. Winners are often awarded prizes or recognition, with some competitions open to all skill levels and others more exclusive. Overall, they promote appreciation of haiku’s simplicity, depth, and cultural significance.
