Congratulations to the authors of the winning entries in our 2019 Haiku Contest! Results
were announced to the entrants on May 28, but it came to our attention that we did not
announce the results publicly, until now. We would also like to express our gratitude to all
who entered, to our English division and Japanese division judges, and also to the Japanese
and English calligraphy instructors who wrote the first place entries for display.

Please see the texts of their lovely haiku, and the photos of the first place entries in
calligraphy.
