The HaikuLife Haiku Film Festival is a gallery of short films created by individual poets, videographers, and organizations to celebrate the diversity of haiku around the world. Each year since 2015 the films have been selected by The Haiku Foundation for screening on its website beginning on April 17, International Haiku Poetry Day.

The HaikuNow! International Haiku Contest, administered in three categories: Traditional, Contemporary, and Innovative, ran for five years, from 2010 through 2014. Any poet could enter one poem in any or all of the categories each year, and there was no entry fee. Results were traditionally announced on April 17 as part of the celebration of first National, and later, International Haiku Poetry Day.
