For next year’s poster series, we encourage poets to start early, practice haiku as regular exercise, and submit work to us as soon as you feel pleased with it. You can download an entry form by clicking here, or contact us and ask to be put on the mailing list. We mailed entry materials to more than 200 participants Aug. 11. The deadline for entries is the second Friday in September.

A note for elementary and secondary school teachers: several posters have featured student poems, and we enjoy the vision and spirit of student work. But if you have your class participate, please help with the selection work. For each class, send us the five best haiku.

Thank you.
