Touchstone Awards
The Haiku Foundation, as part of its mission to expand possibilities for English-language haiku, created the Touchstone Awards Series in 2010. The goal: to reward excellence and innovation in the haiku genre. The Awards recognize work published during award years. The results are determined through a year-long nomination and selection process, and are released in April of the following year. Award recipients are selected by independent panels comprised of recognized authorities in the field.
We are currently accepting nominations for the Touchstone Distinguished Book Awards and for the Touchstone Awards for Individual Poems. Please follow the links below for information on how to submit nominations.
