4. Important Notes for Submission

All submitted works must be written with reference to the Korean Haiku Creative Writing Guide.

In particular, please carefully review the following points before submission:

• ○Is the seasonal sense of the work clear?
• ○Are the works not excessively concentrated in only one season?
• ○Do the seasonal words and seasonal background function naturally within the work?
• ○Is unnecessary explanation or overly prosaic expression avoided?
• ○Within the short form, are the scene and resonance effectively conveyed?
• ○Is the work not too similar to the author’s previously published works?
• ○Does the work avoid imitation or unauthorized borrowing of others’ works or expressions?

For the consistency and completeness of the anthology, spacing, notation, and arrangement may be adjusted to some extent during the editorial process.

5. Principles of Submission

SUMNORGEE is not an anthology intended merely to fill pages with works. Rather, it seeks to document the current creative standard and seasonal sensibility of Korean haiku.

Therefore, rather than submitting many works all at once, contributors are encouraged to select carefully revised pieces. If possible, please organize your submission so that the emotions of the four seasons, nature, and scenes from everyday life may appear in a diverse and balanced way.

In particular, rather than focusing only on works from a single season, contributors are strongly encouraged to include works from spring, summer, autumn, and winter as evenly as possible.

6. Special Notice for University Students and Overseas Authors

To broaden the foundation of Korean haiku, discover the next generation of writers, and promote international exchange, currently enrolled university students and overseas authors are exempt from both the review fee and the publication fee.

University students may be asked to submit documentation verifying their enrollment. For overseas authors, details regarding submission methods and translation notation will be provided separately.

We warmly welcome the active participation of all members who cherish Korean haiku.
