Ventura County Library System celebrates National Poetry Month with a county-wide Haiku Poetry Contest.
Submit your original 
haiku at any of our library locations or online at tiny.cc/vclhaiku. Deadline is April 17, 5:00 p.m.
Entries will be judged by Ventura County Poet Laureate Phil Taggart, and the winners will receive custom-designed
prizes commemorating their accomplishments.
All submissions should follow the traditional format for haiku: three lines of five, seven, and five syllables each. The contest is open to all ages and topics; contact the library for further information regarding contest rules.
