Merit Book Awards for Excellence in Published Haiku,
Translation, and Criticism
Deadline: In hand by
March 31, 2010.
Eligibility: The contest is open to the public. Books must
have been published in 2008 and clearly must contain printed a
2009 ©. An author or publisher may submit more than one title.
Books published by HSA officers are eligible for this award.
Submissions: The HSA encourages authors or publishers to
proactively submit eligible books, not only so the judge(s)
will consider them, but also so that the HSA can add these
books to the permanent HSA Archives in the American Haiku
Archives at the California State Library. Please send two
copies of each book, noting them to be Mildred Kanterman
Memorial Merit Book Award entries. Authors or publishers
should contact the 1st vice president before the deadline to
ascertain that books have been received. In addition, authors
and publishers are encouraged to communicate with each other
so that duplicate entries are not submitted.
