Contest, Part II...We've Got Judges
Here is where we put to the test the question of whether haiku contests are like baseball fields. I have built one; let us see if they will, indeed, come. As of yet we have four people whom I've asked who have said "Yes" to being judges, one strong maybe, and yours truly. That makes a potential of 5-6 judges total, which is good because it makes the judging all the more unbiased, and hopefully well-rounded. Alas, as of yet, I have no entries!
In case you were curious, here is how the judging will work. Each judge other than myself will get haiku with only a number on them, not knowing who has written them. They will assign each individual haiku a score from one to ten, so the top possible score for a pair from one judge is 20. I will add up the scores from all the judges and the pair of haiku with the highest aggregate score will be the winner. Also, there will be honorable mentions for the best autumn haiku and winter haiku respectively. All haiku will be published here for our enjoyment without scores or ranking (aside from the winner of course).
Here we go! Here we go! Get those submissions in by noon on Wednesday, August 15th. The prizes await, plus a bonus prize recently discovered whilst cleaning my office has been added. It is the 30 card set of post cards of Japanese scenes which is pictured above.
