The Syracuse Poster Project invites poets to participate in its annual series of poetry posters.

If you’ve submitted poetry before, consider contributing more, honing earlier submissions, or sharing this invitation with a friend. If you’re new to the project, think of it as a chance to share your creative talents.

Each year, over the summer, we reach out to poets for haiku poems about downtown Syracuse, the city at large, or the nearby countryside. The call for haiku goes out in July. You can find entry materials on this web site. Or you can request entry materials by sending us a stamped, self-addressed envelope with contact information (name, telephone number, e-mail address).

The annual deadline for submissions is the second Friday in September. We notify poets of selection in December.

As the seasons unfold, apply yourself to experiencing the pleasures, beauties and peculiarities of our city. How do these moments move you? How do you convey the depth of these experiences in the few words of haiku? Delve into this, and send us your best work.

Thank you.
