Haiku Submissions

This is primarily a website for the collection of the best work of Australian haiku poets. We also accept haiku from those who have visited Australia and wish to share their experiences.

Australia, in the twenty-first century, is a vibrant multicultural society. We hope to celebrate, through the haiku and senryu collected on this website, the diversity of lifestyles, values, characters, customs, cultures, and historical experiences of the people inhabiting Australia, as well as the diversity of our landscapes, flora, and fauna.

Submissions will only be accepted via the submission form, which will be available when the link opens. The link will be displayed during April and October. Journal publication will start in July and January.

A link to the submission form will be available from this page.

Guidelines

You are invited to submit up to five (5) haiku on the advertised topic in one submission. Haiku must be your original work, unpublished (in print or online, in forums or blogs, Facebook pages and groups, etc.), and not under consideration elsewhere. Please do not submit close versions of work previously published or accepted for publication.

Make only one submission containing all the haiku you are submitting.

Please include your name and country of residence. If you do not reside in Australia, please describe your connection to Australia.

Poets will be notified of acceptances (only) within three weeks of the submission’s closing date. If you have not heard from us by then, you may consider your work accessible to send elsewhere.

Haiku Editors for Issue 16 will be Simon Hanson and Jennifer Sutherland. We invite your best and previously unpublished haiku and senryu on any topic that stirs your imagination. If you choose a seasonal reference, it should be compatible with the publication’s summer or autumn time frame.

Submissions will only be received via the submissions form.

Submit haiku for Issue 16 throughout the submission period: October 2025.
