contest rules to be eligible.<br />
Contest Rules<br />
• Only current students of The Art Institutes International Minnesota are eligible<br />
• Entries must follow submission guidelines<br />
• Entries must be previously unpublished, original works of poetry, as distinct from<br />
prose (essay, creative non-fiction, or fiction)<br />
• One poem will be chosen as the winner from all entries by a panel of instructors<br />
(Communications Instructor Sarah Orman, Communications Instructor Michael<br />
Courteau, and Graphic Design Instructor Douglas Westendorp) based on<br />
the quality and combination of any or all of the following aesthetic criteria:<br />
narrative, structure, music, and imagination<br />
• This is a “blind” contest, which means the judges will not know the names of the<br />
authors; they will base their decisions solely on the quality of the poems<br />
• The winning poem will be framed and displayed in the school library<br />
• The winning poem will be published, with author’s signed permission, in the<br />
student magazine C² (create·connect)<br />
