A Japanese Poetry Competition was conducted recently by the Friendly
Street Poets in Adelaide. Sixteen awards were made. Of the eight awards
for the categories that were open Australia-wide, four went to members
of Cloudcatchers. This group comprises a small gathering of haiku
enthusiasts who live and ginko together on the Far North Coast of NSW.

We would like to thank the Friendly Street Poets for offering this
opportunity to compete, and HaikuOz for the notification of the
competition in the first place.
