a butterfly                             un fluture
on my doorknob -            pe clanţa uşii mele-
i wait in the rain                  aştept în ploaie...
na mojoj kvaki–
čekam na kiši

" Despite a successful international academic career as a renowned mathematician, with professorships in Australia and the US, as well as his native Croatia at the University of Zagreb, it is primarily as a Japanologist and haiku poet that Vladimir Devide is now remembered.

Devide was not only one of the world's most celebrated haiku poets, but a tireless promoter of Japanese culture. If Croatia is now considered a Haiku "superpower", with more poets practicing the art per capita than any other nation, it is largely thanks to his efforts.

A full member of the Croatian Academy of Sciences and Arts, Vladimir Devide has won a number of awards and honours, including the Le Prix CIDALC (1977), the Prize of the City of Zagreb (1982), and  for his work as a promoter of Japanese culture, the Japanese Order of the Sacred Treasure (1983).
 Vladimir Devide died in August 2010, and this competition pays tribute to his vision and passion for haiku."
