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.

NVH Magazine
Here's a newer magazine that's somehow been flying under the radar. NVH Magazine is an online journal of horror fiction and poetry, edited by David "Doc" Byron. Take a peek around the website... there's plenty there to amuse yourself. Be sure to check out their submission guidelines and reader's forum, as well as an informative article by poetry editor Tony Bernstein about the use of humor in horror poetry, both historically and now.

Two Forums, One Market, and... that's it
Since Whispers of Wickedness will be closing down in the near future, all of its forum members (including me) will need to find a new place to share ideas*, communicate with others in the speculative genre*, and find new markets*.
* translation, "not do housework"
To that end, I would like to bring two other online forums to everyone's attention. The first one is rather new, but is also based in the UK and is hosted by a genre magazine. It is the Twisted Tongue forums, and while it doesn't have many members yet, it is still growing. One of the neat things about this forum is that it encourages poets to post poems for discussion or criticism.
The second forum I would like to mention is called Spatial Distortion, and it's hosted by the fine folks who bring you Aberrant Dreams. It's been around a little longer and has more participation, and (like Whispers) it provides a channel to give feedback on poems and stories published in the magazine, which is great for both the authors and the readers to compare and discuss.
Both forums are free (otherwise I wouldn't be mentioning them!) and neither one will be mad at you if you cheat on them and go to the other one too.
I'd also like to mention a new dark fiction and poetry magazine that's putting together its first issue -- The Ashen Eye. It's still taking submissions, and while it doesn't pay contributors (yet), it does offer a $10 prize to the best poem and story (and $5 for the best artwork) in each issue. The only way small magazines like this one can afford to pay contributors is by support from readers and writers, so think of a submission now as an investment in the future.
