The theme of the haiku competition is reflected in various family situations, events, relationships and emotions. And not only the life of human being was described in the triplets of the traditional Japanese poetic form - haiku. The children also paid attention to other representatives of living nature: cats, hedgehogs, bees... The diversity of our world is revealed through interpretations of the concept of family.
Some personal experiences, transformed in poetic form, appeared painful, sharp, offensive. Some - on the contrary: spreading peace and the joy of communion.
Advice for young authors and their assistants (parents, teachers). The essential feature of the haiku form: to write about something that is actually experienced, seen, heard, touched or smelled. To write without generalizations, without embellishing with metaphors or other artistic means, without fictional stories, about how it might be, but did not happen. Just keep trying and you will surely succeed.

There were certainly many submissions, with a wide variety of techniques, colors, and styles. Among them, we found an inventive compositions, perfectly coordinated colors, and a dash of fantasy. Creative, original works immediately attract both the eye and the heart. There were a number of authors who did not follow the easiest, direct plot, illustrative path, but sought a deeper relationship with the depicted object, a more interesting, original compositional solution, leaving more space for the viewer's imagination.
This competition is quite complicated because the author is both a poet and an artist. Maybe he is trying his hand at both fields for the first time. Participating in a drawing competition greatly helps a young creator not only to develop his creative abilities, but also to see himself in a wider creative field, comparing himself with others. Student drawing competitions have brought many Lithuanian artists to the ranks of famous creators.

I had the great pleasure of being a member of the competition and an evaluator of submissions. It was a great joy to read the triplets and to know that almost a thousand children had written and drawn a piece about family. I tried to imagine a large group of children at the same time creating a picture of their family.
Write, draw, play: do all that is creative and you will be beautiful. Because the most beautiful person is the one who creates.
Congratulations to all participants. Congratulations to the nominees - your work deserves it.

Every time, before judging the submissions for this excellent competition, I first wonder whether haiku, the delicate guest from Japan, which is received with respect and deep attention all over the world, will be welcomed here with the appropriate preparation. It would seem that there is nothing to worry about - young authors are always ready to be accompanied by a benevolent advisor, a guide, carrying an archive of insights and advice.
But every time it turns out that on the way from one competition to the next, an old acquaintance joins us: the same failures.
It's a good thing that the theory of the 5-7-5 syllable lines has been heard by many. However, it does no good to feel the effort to stick to the number: a technically neat structure without vibrating life is not poetry. Especially not haiku.
Haiku is born out of ordinary real life. From the real comes another plan... And you are amazed at the extraordinary simplicity.
And if you manage to bring the images together without any rough seams, one from lines 1 and 2, the other from 2 and 3, then you seem to have begun to know haiku...
Too hard? Or is it easy? Boring? Interesting?
If you're curious to try, don't miss the next contest. Don't forget your guide.
