The Snapshot Press Collection
Competition was established in 1998 and is now an annual event, alternating
between tanka and haiku.
It provides a rare and equal opportunity for authors to have a collection
published in a professional manner, regardless of reputation and publishing
history.
The 2005 winning tanka collection, First Light, First Shadows by George Swede,
will be published in 2006. A previous tanka winner,
Cherie Hunter Day's Early Indigo (Snapshot Press, 2000), went
on to receive a Merit Book Award from the Haiku Society of America. Numerous
other collections have also been published to critical acclaim as a result
of entry into this contest. All of these books are available to order
here.
