Canadian Poetry contest about college

Just read about a poetry contest in the ImageUpdate from Image Journal (subscribe to the free newsletter here) and it is being offered by our Canadian friends over at Cardus. (Hi, Dan!)

Thought I’d share it here:

Comment magazine invites poets to submit contributions in the form of a rondeau suitable for publication in our September print issue. This will be our fourth annual “Making the Most of College” issue, and the submitted poems should in some way be connected with that theme, or with the beginning of the school year. Our poetry judges will select three of the submitted rondeau for publication and offer pre-publication editorial advice to the poets. One of the selected rondeau will be published on the first page of the September issue, and its poet awarded a prize of CDN $50. Two other winners will be published elsewhere in the magazine. Email submissions or questions to Dan Postma by June 15, 2009.

As for the picture of the smiling man and the woman with saran wrap. I can’t really explain that, but I had to include it when I saw it in my Zemanta toolbar. I wish I had hair like that dude, though.
