The theme of the 12th contest is “FESTIVALS.” Festivals form an integral part of our lives, and are held in
many ways, on various occasions. They could be humble or grandiose, ritual or festive. Festivals embody
the spirit of mankind, purify our souls and remind us what we're thankful for. How are festivals seen in the
eyes of children? How do they express festivals of their country or region in their drawings and poetry?
We look forward to receiving haikus and works depicting festivals from children around the world!
Qualifications:
- Age 15 and under/Elementary or junior high school student
- One haiku entry per child
- Must be unpublished original work, either handwritten or typed.
- Haiku may be written on the artwork or on a separate piece of paper accompanying the art
- ARTWORK: Hand-drawn/hand-crafted original artwork by the child
Any form (water/oil-colored, black&white, wood-cut print, lithograph, paper cutwork, etc)
Use A4 sized (210mm x 297mm) paper or larger（US region : letter-sized or larger)
No photographs and digital images accepted.
- Please attach application form to the back of submitted work; can be picked up from the main office or
printed from the website: http://www.jal-foundation.or.jp/new/haiku/contest/12th.html

deserve to have it. We should fill the bin with empty cans by the end of the semester for an I-Recycle
pick-up. Please have your student clubs and organizations collect cans, keep track of the poundage,
and place them in the bin. You can, of course, donate your own cans to our cause to "Go Green."
Thank you so much for your cooperation.
