Participation:
Each day of the contest the participants will be emailed a prompt video for the day which will include haiku examples, word banks, prompts and exercises to help them write their 7 daily poems. They will also receive the How To Haikai Guide to 5-7-5 Forms of Japanese Poetry and the Basho Haiku Chapbook. (Downloadable materials will be sent the day before the challenge begins.) For the 7 days that week, the goal is to write 7 Haiku for a total of 49. (There is wiggle room if you do 6 one day and 8 the next day, as long as you have 49 by the end of the challenge!)
Registration: Closes Saturday August 6th
Midnight EST (Or When Full)
Because of high demand, at this time we have to limit this challenge to the first 100 people who register. We will keep you updated with how many spots we have left, but we expect it to fill up quickly.
After you register you will get an email with the introductory video and texts on August 7th and an email with the daily videos every day of the challenge after that. (Be sure to check promotions and spam folders.) Will you accept the challenge? |
