International Mini Poetry Competition
2018 Pacific Ocean Season Now Open
a multilingual, continually run, international poetry competition
awards ceremony at Bo Ao Forum for Asia in China
As internet accessibility grows and mobile devices like smartphones and tablets gain their popularity increasingly, poems are being composed, shared and loved in a fashionable way characterised as "mini content" in real-time via social media such as twitter, facebook, weibo, wechat and more. "mini creativity", "mini channel" and "mini interaction" have been the distribution trend of world poetry today.
Recent years in China, short forms of poem like "3-line love poems", "Jie Ju" (a name inspired by Bruce Lee's JKD philosophy) and "miniature poems" have drawn massive attention and become hot topics in discussions around poetry. If we observe internationally, since Japanese Haiku being accepted by non-Japanese speaking countries broadly, a sign that such short form poetry has been welcomed as "fresh air" worldwide and recognised as an important part of world poetry.
To go with the trend and encourage international exchange, Chinese Poetry Schools web has initiated this International Mini Poetry Competition and jointly worked on its planning with Hong Kong Institute of Chinese Poetry and International Poetry Translation and Research Centre.
