This year’s theme is “Living in the Present Moment”
Calling all creatives, writers and aspiring poets from the Old Pueblo and beyond! The Downtown Tucson Partnership together with the University of Arizona Poetry Center are proud to announce the 2nd annual Haiku Hike literary competition.
Twenty winning haiku poems will be printed on acrylic signage and displayed in planters located on Congress Street and Stone Avenue in Downtown Tucson. Haiku entries will be judged by Tucson’s Poet Laureate, TC Tolbert. All winners will receive public recognition and have their work featured on public signage downtown, online and in the media.
These signs will provide visual and cultural interest throughout the spring season, beginning April 3. The theme of this year’s competition is Living in the Present Moment. Poets are encouraged to submit haiku reflecting this theme.
