Prior Announcement: AHS Spring Haiga Kukai 2024

The Australian Haiku Society will hold a Haiga Kukai on 22nd September to mark the Spring Equinox, which occurs this year in Australia. Poets from Australia and internationally are invited to participate.

Melbourne artist, Olivia Ark, has generously provided two images (Seasonal and Non-seasonal), which will be displayed on the AHS website starting on 22nd September. The competition will be open for eight days, to allow haiku poets in Australia and abroad to contribute their haiku.

Please enter your haiku well before the opportunity finishes to avoid missing out.

For each competition, poets will be invited to submit one previously unpublished haiku inspired by the image. Someone will then select the winning haiku, which will be displayed on the AHS website.

Please note that if more than one haiku per image is submitted by any individual, only the first haiku sent will be considered.

Submissions will only be accepted if entered in the comments section, which can be found at the bottom of the post.

By entering the competition, entrants agree to make their haiku available on the AHS website, although the copyright will remain with the author.

No correspondence will be entered into regarding winning entries.

Please ensure that your name appears on your entry as you want to see it on the website.
