The annual Science Haiku Contest has been announced by the University Libraries Centennial Science & Engineering Library (CSEL) to celebrate National Poetry Month. The contest is open to all members of the UNM community and invites participants to showcase their creativity and scientific inspiration through original haikus.
The contest is focused on themes related to science and engineering, and participants can submit their entries either in person at the Centennial Science & Engineering Library or online at goto.unm.edu/csel-haiku-24. Entries will be judged based on creativity, adherence to correct haiku form, and incorporation of scientifically accurate themes by a panel of faculty members. The winner will be announced via email, with the grand prize including a STEM-themed magnetic poetry kit to encourage further creativity and exploration of science.
In addition to the grand prize, selected entries will also be featured on UNM Libraries’ social media channels to celebrate National Poetry Month. To submit a haiku or learn more about the contest, please visit goto.unm.edu/csel-haiku-24.
