HSA Contest Update
The Henderson Haiku Contest results have been announced to the selected poets and to contestants who provided a S.A.S.E. for results. The full results, including comments by the judges, will appear in a future issue of Frogpond.
Please note that the Brady and Haibun contests are still in the hands of their respective judges, even though the Henderson selections have been made. In the past the Henderson and Brady contest results have always been issued simultaneously. But with three autumn contests this year, we have decided to announce each separately, as the results come in.
This has possibly been confusing for some contestants and we want to make sure that everyone knows that their Brady and Haibun entries are still under consideration and shouldn't be submitted for publication or another contest until the results are in.
