Open Call for Haiga

contemporary haibun online will begin accepting haiga during its next open submission period, Sept. 1-30, for the December issue. Please see the Submissions Page for guidelines. Below, cho‘s haiga editor, Ron Moss, offers insights into the qualities he considers when reviewing haiga for publication:

I will be looking for your best work in all forms of art with haiku, senryu, and tanka, using media of all types, from writing in the sand or doodling on paper to the most advanced digital techniques. Ideally, a “link and shift” will occur between the written word and the image: the two separate elements brought together to make something that resonates on a level higher than when they were separate. Pay particular attention to the use of white space; leaving room around the haiku and the art can be of great importance.
