World’s first FLYku competition!
Thank you so much for all your wonderful entries to the World’s first ever FLYku contest! FLYkus have flown in from across the seas and closer to home and we have been amazed by the beauty of the work submitted. We are delighted to announce the winners!
WINNERS
1st Prize has been awarded to Bella Beardmore with her stunning, handpainted FLYku. Our judge said “A piece of sky as a plane, containing words that could be uttered to feathery companions, amazing “
They all sing for us
Nature’s aviation team
As their wings clip clouds
2nd Prize has been awarded to Keira Barrett-Sanchez with a delicate FLYku. Our judge said” The statement could be an obvious observation but for someone who can fully engage with what is simply present around us makes me pause. Thank you, plus beautiful plane.”
Flying across skys
In the heart of winter
are scarlett robins
3rd Prize has been awarded to Alice Martin for an ambitious and high flying FLYku. Our judge said:
“The form is fantastic and at first I was taken aback by the inclusion of the ‘I’ in the poem. I later realised how brave this can be , as opposed to self-centred.”
Far above my earth
At peace in the floating sea
Life is mine to take
SPECIAL PILOT’S PRIZE
We are thrilled to have an additional prize called the Pilot’s Prize and this has been awarded to Kyra Anand. Our judge, pilot Peter White loved how small it was and how its design fitted so well with the theme of its haiku, which was Spring.
The daffodils are
A warming lemon yellow
Vibrant fields of sun
