The Touchstone Distinguished Books Award, the pre-eminent award in the genre, is bestowed annually on published collections of poems, or works of scholarship, that represent noteworthy contributions to English-language haiku in the estimation of a distinguished panel of poets, editors and scholars.
Any English-language book or other book-length production that is of or about haiku (and related forms) is eligible for an award. The Distinguished Books Award is open to books published during the current calendar year.
