Haiku Northwest’s 23rd annual Porad Award

Haiku Northwest’s 23rd annual Porad Award opens for haiku submissions on July 14.

The contest is named for Francine Porad, founder of Haiku Northwest, former president of the Haiku Society of America, and editor of Brussels Sprout.

Adjudicating the 2026 award will be Antoinette Cheung, former co-editor of Prune Juice and the journal Confluence. Her work has appeared in journals and anthologies including New Resonance 14 and The Red Moon Anthology of English-Language Haiku, and in 2023 she was shortlisted for The Haiku Foundation’s Touchstone Award. She has also received honours including Haiku Canada’s Betty Drevniok Award, the Basho-an Award, and top recognition in the Vancouver Cherry Blossom Festival haiku competition.

The entry fee is $5 for up to five haiku, and the deadline is August 30th. See the Haiku Northwest 2026 Porad Award site for more details. We look forward to your submissions.

Manna Magazine launching in December

Didier Lejeune (Gold Coast) is beginning a new literary and art magazine and is currently looking for artists and haiku poets to populate the first issue.

Last year I developed a strong appreciation for Haiku while living in a cottage in the alps, having an entire shelf full of zen poetry and haiku to occupy my time. The artform has come to mean a lot to me, and it is important that I give it ample space in the magazine.
The publication is print-only, black and white, with a focus on beauty—however this concept manifests in the mind of the artist.
I am looking for poets to contribute to this first issue, and all that will follow.

Our website is: manna magazine
Each issue will publish a handful of Haiku from one, or several, artists. Each poet is encouraged to submit 6-15 haiku.

I look forward to hearing from you,
Didier Lejeune
