With its pink and teal banners now lining the Burrard Street Bridge and cherry blossoms slowly beginning to come out across the city, the Vancouver Cherry Blossom Festival presented by Coromandel Properties is proud to launch its 2022 Haiku Invitational poetry contest and announce its 2021 winners.
The Haiku Invitational invites established and budding poets to submit up to two unpublished haiku, which are judged in six categories: Best Vancouver, Best BC, Best Canada, Best United States, Best International and Best Youth haiku, with additional haiku recognized in the Sakura Award and Honourable Mentions categories. Each year, the internationally acclaimed contest attracts thousands of entries from 40-plus countries around the world ahead of the annual celebration of Vancouver’s iconic cherry blossom trees, which will see the return of its signature events in 2022, with The Big Picnic taking place at David Lam Park, April 2 and Sakura Days returning to VanDusen Botanical Garden, April 9-10.
The Haiku Invitational will run from March 2 to June 1. To submit a haiku, please visit the Festival haiku submission page. —Vita Daily
