I'm very happy to announce the winners of the first-ever tinywords haiku contest:
first prize: Marjorie Buettner
second prize: Carol Raisfeld
third prize: Brian Gierat
fourth prize: Joanne Morcom
fifth prize: Margarita Engle
On behalf of tinywords and all the entrants, I thank the contest's generous contest sponsors:
deep north press, bottle rockets press, and haijinx.
I'm also especially grateful to the four judges: Mark Brooks, Charlie Rossiter, Charlie Trumbull, and Jeff Winke. They were very generous with their time (reading 346 haiku from about 120 individual contributors) and with their comments. I feel like I learned a lot about the process of reading and evaluating haiku from watching them work, and I'm grateful for that.
I also want to extend a word of appreciation to everyone who entered the contest. Thank you for helping to make it a success! Even if your haiku did not win a prize, I hope you'll consider submitting it to tinywords for possible publication here later on.
