The British Haiku Society welcomes entries to The British Haiku Awards. The two categories are: Haiku and Haibun.

Submissions must be in English, unpublished at the time of submission, remaining so until results are declared, and not concurrently entered for any other competition. There is no limit on the number of entries from any single competitor.

For haiku, prizes of £125 will be awarded to each of the two best and £50 to each of two runners-up. (Double awards: £250 and £100.)

For haibun, prizes of £125 will be awarded to each of the two best, but at present there will be no runner-up prize.

Deadline: in the administrator's hands by 31January, 2011. Haiku and haibun entries
may be sent in the same envelope.
