Vancouver Cherry Blossom Festival’s
Fifth Annual international Haiku
Invitational
May 31 Deadline:
While some cherry trees are
still blooming, you are invited to write your haiku with fresh inspiration. Free
to enter (up to two poems each). Poems will be judged by Michael Dylan Welch
during the summer. Winning poems will be announced in the fall of 2010 on the
VCBF website (www.vcbf.ca) and published in the Haiku Canada Review, Rice Paper,
and Ripples, the newsletter of the Haiku Society of America. Top poems in five
main categories (Youth, British Columbia, Canada, United States, and
International) will also appear on TransLink SkyTrains and buses all over Metro
Vancouver, receive celebrity readings by the conductor of the Vancouver Symphony
Orchestra during a concert, and be featured in creative ways during the 2011
Festival in the spring of 2011. So don't delay --
submit your cherry blossom haiku by May
31.
To submit, go to

entries from previous years on the site.)
