Here are the amazing entries for the Wintery Haiku Achat 2020 Writing Contest.We have had a wonderful response and we wish to thank everyone who has entered and supported us.
To the contestants, please may I remind you:
Contestants should not campaign for votes; spam; advertise or disclose to others their entry to the competition with a view to gain votes, nor should they attempt to bribe or curry favour with any judges. Any one found do be doing so will be disqualified from the competition. The competition is a writing contest not a popularity contest. It is a fair contest.
Each contestant will be a judge and will be expected to put their haiku preferences in a list. First will be the haiku that is liked best then, in descending order to their least favourite. They cannot place their own entry but this will be awarded 60 points on receipt of their Judging List. Their list should be sent to Saga55, Vaughan and JessiCapri in PM.
To the Secret Judges. Thank you for your support and assistance in this contest. Please may I also remind you ...
Judges should not advertise they are a judge in this contest nor use their position to gain any kind of advantage over contestants they may know or suspect, ie - no sexual favours, Achat dollars etc... The judges should be fair, unbiased and judge on the writing not who writes the entry. It is a fair contest.

1st Place - A$ 1,000
2nd Place - A$ 750
3rd Place - A$ 500
4th place - A$ 250
