The annual Polish International Haiku Competition was inaugurated in 2011. It was organized for the first four years by Rafał Zabratyński, and in 2016, the recently formed Polish Haiku Association (Polskie Stowarzyszenie Haiku) took over administration of the competition. Poets worldwide are invited to submit one classically structured, original, and unpublished haiku in English. The judges award book prizes for first, second, and third place haiku and certificates for up to ten commendations.
