Haiku of the Week Contest

We’re excited to announce the Haiku of the Week Contest for our upcoming 2026 Digital Weekly Planner! Four artists, 53 seasonal haiku. The result? 53 scrumptious monochrome haiga for your printable planners.

​

After the success of our annual calendars since 2021, we’re thrilled to invite more poets from the haiku community to be a part of India’s first haiku-based digital planner. We hope you’ll send us your finest work and help make this venture as memorable as our Poem in a Bottle: a random act of kindness project.
