Last week, The World Haiku Club kicked off a global haiku tournament. For the first time, haiku enthusiasts from more than 10 countries are gathering online to watch and participate in this three-month contest which runs through June.
The contest is a follow-up to the WHC's successful Mock-Haiku Tournament held in April last year. But unlike the Mock-Haiku, this year's tournament is open to non-members of the World Haiku Club as well.
According to organizers, the global contest will become an annual event with the aim of encouraging haiku composition in a "new, creative and playful way."
