Annual Trailblazer Contest
The Trailblazer Contest is an annual search for haikai and tanka poetry that betters their genres by pushing boundaries through the use of innovation, honing, and truth-seeking.
Our Annual Trailblazer Contest offers a new manner of recognition focusing on poems and poets trailblazing — advancing genres in their various forms (including ones perhaps never seen!) for the benefit of all.
We hope that over the years, our Annual Trailblazer Contest will serve as a way to measure not each of us above another poet, but illustrate the ways in which we have grown, morphed, and even re-visited earlier versions of historical landmarks in haikai and tanka history.
We hope you will all join us on this journey. Your participation is key to its success!
Perhaps you are tired of flowers and favor more grit. Perhaps you'd like to see more surreal or contrapuntal elements. Maybe you write the most sublime 5-7-5 haiku. Or perhaps we’ve never even seen what you have up your sleeve because nothing like it has been published. Use your imagination. Send us your beautiful monsters.
Send us the poems that reflect the direction of movement you would like to see in the haiku and tanka worlds. Don’t just send us a haiku or tanka from your pile. Accept this as a challenge to the way you approach your work and take it another step beyond! And challenge us as well!
The key is to be the most exemplary form of yourself, not the handful of people you think have the key to haiku or tanka. No one else can be you!
Sections:
- Tanka/Kyoka
- Haiku/Senryu (This includes multi-ku/woven poems on a single theme but not sequences that link and shift.)
In this contest, there will be no delineation between Tanka/Kyoka and Haiku/Senryu in the submissions.
Criteria:
- Unpublished poems only.
- One poem per person, per section.
- Single author entries.
- Acceptable to submit as jpg or png to maintain special formatting.
Submissions are free and will be via Google form (accessible to those without Google accounts).
A note about selected poems: There will be no placements — no "bests" in this contest.
Each selected poet will have a brief interview about their process and it will be published with the commentary written by one of our judges. While the list of selected poems will be released all at once after decisions have been made, these commentaries and interviews will be released every few weeks over the course of the year, as a sort of online anthology.
Those with selected poems will receive a digital certificate.
Results out by early 2022.

HAIKU CONTEST FOR THE PRIZE “RADMILA BOGOEVIC"
The deadline is July 15. 2021
joi, 1 aprilie 2021
Al treilea concurs de haiku al orașului Beauchamp
Le haïku, très populaire et respecté dans la littérature japonaise, est considéré comme le plus petit poème au monde. C’est par excellence le poème de l’instant.
Au Japon, le haïku comporte traditionnellement 17 mores en trois segments (5/7/5) et s’écrit sur une colonne, évoquant généralement une saison (le kigo).
ce chemin
seule la pénombre d’automne
l’emprunte encore
(Matsuo Bashô)
Tant au Japon qu’en Occident des poètes contemporains écrivent des haïkus s’affranchissant quelque peu de ces règles. Cette 3ème édition sera placée sous le thème de l’automne.
Amateurs, néophytes, à vos plumes, adressez nous vos poèmes !
3 catégories : enfants jusqu’à 11 ans, jeunes de 12 à 17 ans et adultes à partir de 18 ans.

Concours 2020-2021 du Taol Kurun
Thème : la mer
de 1 à 3 haïkus
maximum / personne
avant le 31 décembre
2020
.
Le concours de haïkus
(petits poèmes dont le modèle vient du Japon) lancé l’an dernier par Fanny
Chauffin et Maï Ewenn, à Quimperlé, avait rassemblé 1 142 contributions.
L’édition de 2020 vient d’être lancée, et les poètes intéressés ont jusqu’au 31
décembre pour trouver l’inspiration.
.
Le concours de haïkus
de Quimperlé prend cette année le large, afin de donner à ces participants, un
petit sentiment d’une liberté actuellement un peu bridée !
.
Fin 2019, les
organisateurs avaient recueilli pas moins de 1 142 de ces poèmes très brefs,
d’origine japonaise. Si nombre d’entre eux sont en français (venant de
différentes parties du monde), en breton et gallo, d’autres reviennent
également dans des langues hors concours comme l’italien ou l’espagnol. Un
succès que les organisatrices, Fanny Chauffin et Maï Ewenn, à l’origine de
l’événement, expliquent par le côté populaire de la discipline.
