Ideally, there will be one Grand Prix, a number of Za Prizes (Highly
Commended), and some Honourable Mentions, too. The authors of entries chosen
for the first two of these categories will receive prizes as well as
certificates from Kikakuza. In the spring, a bilingual bulletin will be
published in Japan (there is a Japanese Haibun Section, too), and the
results displayed both on the Kikakuza homepage and on the Hailstone Icebox.
You can read last year's top four pieces on that site now (click top right –
