DC -- Golden (Triangle) Haiku (2022):

Description of Pictures: Over 5 days of Golden Haiku photography excursions this year, I photographed 131 unique signs out of something like 200.
This year I made the hunt for the signs a real production, carrying around a printed map of the Golden Triangle BID and marking off each sidewalk I covered. Despite covering every single block, I still only got 131 of them.
One of the Haiku writers had asked me to describe what the signs were made of so I took some close-up shots of one. It appears to be a solid base with a thin metal cover with the text of the haiku on either side.

Golden Haiku 2022

Thank you to everyone from around the neighborhood and around the world who submitted a haiku for this year’s contest. The Golden Triangle BID’s ninth annual Golden Haiku poetry submission period closed on February 6, 2022.
The 2022 theme is “Reboot and Rebloom.”
Poets were invited to submit up to two original, self-authored haiku until February 6, 2022. Haiku selected by the panel of judges, including this year’s winning haiku, are being shared on social media and displayed in the neighborhood as of March 15, 2022.

About
Originating in Japan, haiku is the shortest form of poetry in the world. In a short descriptive verse, it captures a moment in the poet’s life or simply expresses the beauty of nature.
Since 2014, the Golden Triangle BID has hosted the Golden Haiku poetry contest to bring pops of warmth, color, and inspiration to the streets of downtown DC during the late winter months. We invited the public to write and submit original, contemporary haiku for this temporary community art project. In 2021, we introduced a youth category, inviting students to explore haiku and perhaps become published poets. The contest is open to all ages, worldwide.
Submissions are reviewed by an expert panel of judges; winning poets receive prizes, and winning haiku are displayed on colorful street signs in the tree boxes lining the streets of the Golden Triangle neighborhood.
The contest’s popularity has grown each year; it is internationally recognized and beloved by locals and visitors alike. In 2022, we received entries from 71 countries, 49 states, and the District of Columbia. See winning haiku from 2022 here.

2022 Theme: “Reboot and Rebloom”
This year’s Golden Haiku competition is helping unite our global community. In a time when the world has been brought together in unprecedented ways, the Golden Haiku competition is an opportunity to connect with others by sharing and celebrating hope through words.
This year’s haiku theme is “Reboot and Rebloom.” Acknowledging the challenges of the current time, the theme invites a worldwide community of reflection, hope, and joy.

Guidelines
Golden Haiku follows the Haiku Society of America’s guidelines for modern haiku, which does not require the traditional 5-7-5 structure. Removing the strict structural requirements for syllables frees the author to use evocative language to capture a moment or expression of beauty in a short, descriptive verse. Learn more about how to write a contemporary haiku here.
All entries were reviewed and judged by a distinguished panel of published haiku experts (see below) who select first, second, and third place winners, a regional favorite, and Youth Category winners.

Authors of the winning haiku receive:
* First Place – $500
* Second Place – $200
* Third Place – $100
* Regional/DC Winner – $200
Youth Category Winners:
* High School Winner – $150
* Elementary/Middle School Winner – $75

Winning haiku -- along with a selection of judges’ choices -- are displayed in hundreds of tree boxes along some of Washington DC’s most iconic streets from March through early May. The colorful haiku signs brighten the winter landscape for all passersby to enjoy, reminding them during those late winter months that spring is just around the corner.

Contest Dates
Each participant may enter only once, submitting a maximum of two original, self-authored haiku via the submission form. Winners were notified by email in early March, and publicly announced in mid-March.

I love well-behaved spiders! They are, in fact, how most people find my site. Unfortunately, my network has a limited bandwidth and pictures take up bandwidth. Spiders ask for lots and lots of pages and chew up lots and lots of bandwidth which slows things down considerably for regular folk. To counter this, you'll see all the text on the page but the images are being suppressed. Also, some system options like merges are being blocked for you.
Note: Permission is NOT granted for spiders, robots, etc to use the site for AI-generation purposes. I'm sure you're thrilled by your ability to make revenue from my work but there's nothing in that for my human users or for me.
If you are in fact human, please email me at guthrie.bruce@gmail.com and I can check if your designation was made in error. Given your number of hits, that's unlikely but what the hell.

230. HAIKU_220330_572.JPG: I used a map of the Golden Triangle BID boundaries from Wikipedia to figure out what blocks I had to walk looking for the Golden Haiku signs. There were restrictions on putting signs on blocks in front of federal / international buildings or on National Park Service grounds so many of the blocks were totally void of signs. (The area south of Pennsylvania Avenue, for example, had no signs except for Pennsylvania Avenue itself.) As I explored blocks, I marked of each sidewalk I covered. This was the map as of my fourth scavenger hunt on April 1 -- northeast of the White House -- during which I found absolutely no new signs. I've only found 190 of the 200 unique signs so I might try the few missing segments later.
