Welcome to our new website! We will be adding more and more content, news and updating our members, friends and supporters monthly on upcoming events, workshops and contests. Visitors to the site will be kept informed on the progress of our new Writers House as we get closer to our grand opening and ribbon cutting! We are very excited to get our website launched and welcome you to engage with us online.

We also welcome participants in the annual Nick Virgilio haiku and senryu competition sponsored by the Haiku Society of America. This year we are asking for participants to make a voluntary contribution with their entries so that we can increase the amount of the scholarship fund and make the awards much more prize worthy! If our participants are able to donate a $1 or whatever they are able, it could make a huge difference and add a great deal of excitement to our competition!

Our Writers House should be operational in the next few months and we will be sharing and working with some of our creative partners, not only in haiku and other forms of poetry, but in related literary fields to present some of the finest collaborative programming that you will experience anywhere. Our newly expanded and energized Board of Directors welcomes you to a very important year for the Nick Virgilio Haiku Association!

Thank You for Your Continued Support,

George Vallianos, President
Nick Virgilio Haiku Association
