Wales Haiku Journal Summer Competition

About

We are delighted to invite haiku writers from around the world to take part in the Wales Haiku Journal Summer Competition. As a journal for all, we welcome you to join us in celebrating the season, wherever you are, through the meditative form of haiku. This competition is a space to share your reflections on summer — its warmth, transience, quiet wonder, and wild edges — through haiku that capture not only beautiful moments in natural world, but the many resonances with human nature to be found within it. We look forward to receiving your unique evocations of the season and to publishing a global chorus of haiku that illuminate summer in all its forms.
