New! BETTY DREVNIOK AWARDS
Next year’s Betty Drevniok Award opens Dec 15, 2025 and will close Feb 1st, 2026.
Pearl Pirie is in the fifth year as contest coordinator. She will coordinate the next competition, arrange for judge,
collect and collate entries and design the trifold.
For 2027 we are looking for someone new to transition into contest coordinator. We’d like to send out to more
worldwide haiku organizations and magazines to get wider access to haiku poets globally, especially Nigeria, Asia,
and South America which have a lot of haiku poets.
