some market news, new SFPA forum

Haiku Canada's 2010 Betty Drevniok Award competition is currently underway. The guidelines aren't up on the website yet, but you can find them over at Curtis Dunlap's site, Blogging Along Tobacco Road. There are three prizes of $100, $50, and $25, and the contest deadline is February 14th.

Speaking of contests, the Poetry Society of Virginia's 2010 Adult Poetry Contest closes on January 19th, and there is a category specifically for haiku series. The three prizes for that category are $50, $30, and $20.

Sybil's Garage reopens to submissions as of tomorrow (the 15th).

The Science Fiction Poetry Association has recently created a new online forum for members to discuss all things speculative. Members can sign up for free and talk about Star*Line, SFPA business, or whatever else strikes your fancy.
