Last week Xpressions, our monthly showcase for the art, writing and photography of students through the 12th grade, published a special edition featuring work relating to the terrorist attacks. Work originally scheduled to appear in September will run later in the year.
Xpressions appears the last Monday of each month in this space. Please read the following instructions carefully before submitting your work. The work must be based on the designated themes. Here are some upcoming themes and postmark deadlines:
OCTOBER: HALLOWEEN HAIKU AND SCARY ART AND PHOTOGRAPHY -- If you are moved to words for this month, they must be in haiku form. Artwork and photos are welcome as well. Try your best to scare us, without gore, of course! (Haiku is the Japanese verse form requiring three unrhymed lines of five, seven and five syllables respectively.) Deadline: All entries must be postmarked by Oct. 8.
NOVEMBER: OPEN THEME -- The subject is up to you; be creative. Deadline: All entries must be postmarked by Nov. 5.
DECEMBER: WHAT IS MOST IMPORTANT TO ME? -- In art, photography or words, depict what means the most in your life. With artwork or photos, please include a sentence explaining your choice. Deadline: All entries must be postmarked by Dec. 3.
Work may be edited for length and content. Please send your work, theme suggestions and comments to: Xpressions, c/o Nancy Green, St. Petersburg Times, 1000 N Ashley Drive, Tampa, FL 33602.
All work must follow the designated theme and be your own creation. Artwork must be on white, unlined paper, with the medium stated on the back (oil, pastel, crayon, etc.). Be sure to include your name (printed legibly), age, school, grade, address, ZIP code and phone number, with area code.
IMPORTANT: PLEASE NOTE THAT YOUR WORK WILL NOT BE CONSIDERED WITHOUT THIS INFORMATION. Stories must be no longer than 150 words, preferably typewritten. We will return work only if you indicate that you want it back.
