In December, we selected the 16 posters for the 2012 poster series, which comes out in April. You can learn about the selected poets in the News section of the website. The series will include one special poster celebrating the 50th anniversary of Onondaga Community College. Skip Frost, an art teacher for OCC, created a painting of the campus, pictured here. We then invited poets to submit haiku to complement the image. A total of 79 poets particpated in this aspect of the contest. The winning haiku, by Sara Parrott, was selected by a committee of OCC staff an administrators.

We will issue our annual call for haiku over the summer. If you'd like to receive our annual mailing, please join our mailing list by going to Contact Us. You're also welcome to submit haiku at any time of year. You can download an entry form by clicking here.

A note for elementary and secondary school teachers: several posters have featured student poems, and we enjoy the vision and spirit of student work. But if you have your class participate, please help with the selection work. For each class, send us the five best haiku.

Thank you.
