DHG Tanka competition 2021
Topic "supermarket"
The winners and the full result of the Kukai!
We congratulate and thank all participants very much!
We received 63 texts from 37 authors.
The DHG jury, consisting of Tony Böhle and Martin Thomas, received the texts anonymously and determined the winner in three evaluation rounds.
At the same time, a Kukai was held by e-mail, at which all participants in the competition received a list of the Tanka sent in and awarded 1, 2 and 3 points each to three Tanka; of course not on their own. Of the 37 authors, 34 took part in the evaluation.
Here are the other Tanka with the number of points achieved at the Kukai:
