Maya 2nd Annual Haiku-Off: 4/15/2010

Jordan Schilling — Wed, 07 Apr 2010 20:35:44 +0000

Maya, Drexel’s undergraduate literary magazine, is hosting our 2nd annual “Haiku-Off” on Thursday, April 15th , at 7:00pm on the 2nd floor of Ross Commons. Originally, this event was scheduled in February but was canceled because of weather conditions.

The logistics of the “Haiku Off” are as follows: There will be three rounds during which contestants may write one poem a piece. Each round will be themed (top secret until the day of the event!) and contestants will have 10 minutes to scribe their haiku masterpiece. After 10 minutes, haikus will be collected and read aloud; identified by number (thus the reading is blind to avoid bias). The judges will then pick their favorite haiku and the winners will be revealed! There will be a 10-minute break between rounds. Winning haikuists will win fame and notoriety, and the winning haikus will be published by Maya

Maya will be providing free food and beverages.
