Haiku Contest Time!

Haiku Contest time came back.  This Contest is sponsored by the Minneapolis­-Ibaraki Sister City Association (MISCA), the International Friendship Association of Ibaraki, the Minneapolis Public Schools, and the Hennepin County Library.  

Entries are divided into four categories: K-5, 6-8, 9-12 and Adult. 

Last year Southwest High School did a fantastic job again, placing with eight winners out of eight. Three parents won the prize for the adult category. 

The entries will be judged by the Board of Directors of MISCA, and the top 30 entries in each category will be sent to Ibaraki, Japan for final judging. 

Final results will be available in March, with an award ceremony to be held in April. 

This year’s theme is “Hon” which translates in English to “book”.  

If you put your entry or your students’ entry forms in my mailbox by 4:00 pm Wednesday, December 16th.  I will send the forms to the committee.  Please encourage your students to participate in this contest.

  

Thank you for your consideration.
