It provides a rare and equal opportunity for authors to have a collection published in a professional manner, regardless of reputation and publishing history.
The 2003 winning tanka collection, Growing Late by Tom Clausen, will be published by Snapshot Press in 2005. The previous tanka winner, Cherie Hunter Day's Early Indigo (Snapshot Press, 2000), went on to receive a Merit Book Award from the Haiku Society of America. Numerous other collections have also been published to critical acclaim as a result of entry into this contest.
