UF French and Francophone Studies Dept: Poetry Contest
February 22
Students from all levels are invited to submit a poem (en francais, bien sûr!) related to the theme of environmental humanities. Your poem may touch on any aspect of the theme (environment, climate, globalization, migration, etc.), and may be written in rhyme or free verse. It may be of any length. Winners will be chosen among submissions at each of the following levels:
Highest course taken at UF: Beginning French (1000-level)
Highest course taken at UF: Intermediate French (2000-level)
Highest course taken at UF: 3000-level
Highest course taken at UF: 4000-level
Highest course taken at UF: 6000-level
Send your finished poems to Dr. Theresa Antes (antes@ufl.edu) no later than Thursday, February 22 at 5 pm, so that the committee can read and judge them. Poems will be judged based on relevance to the theme, overall creativity and quality of French language. Winners will be announced on Monday, February 26 and will be invited to read their poems during La Nuit des Idées.
