San Francisco International Haibun Contest
Deadline�
May 1st, 2024
Entry Fee
$5 for 1-3 haibun
Details
All entries must be original, unpublished, and not under consideration elsewhere.
The winning haibun will receive a $100 grand prize. Second and third place rankings will also be awarded (no prize money), and at the discretion of the judge/s, an unspecified number of haibun will receive honorable mention awards (no prize money and no ranking).
Haibun with multiple authors will be considered a single entry for each author, and in the case of such a haibun receiving any recognition, the authors will share that prize or award.
Contest results will be announced at the summer HPNC meeting in July. The winning haibun will appear in Mariposa, and the full results, including judges' comments, will be posted on the HPNC website. All rights revert to authors after the contest results are announced.
This contest is open to all except the HPNC president, the contest coordinator, and the judges (who will remain anonymous until after the competition). The contest is conducted in a "double-blind" manner, meaning the identities of both the judge/s and the entrants are withheld until the results are announced.
Submission Guidelines
Submissions are by email only; however, so as not to exclude anyone wishing to enter, if you are unable to send your entry via email, please contact the coordinator and an accommodation will be made for you.
