Write yourself into the art museum!
Words on Canvas is an annual art writing competition at the Harn Museum of Art for University of Florida and Santa Fe College students. We invite you to engage museumgoers with your poetry or prose inspired by art at the museum. This year, students can choose from 18 artworks covering each of the Harn’s collecting areas on view throughout the museum, as well as our online collection through eMuseum.
Writers of winning entries will be awarded fun prizes and will have the opportunity to read their entry at Museum Night as part of the Broad & Broadside Poetry Festival. Their essay/poem will be printed in a brochure to be given to them and shared with audiences.
Students may submit until midnight, February 28, 2026
For information about submission guidelines and more, please visit Words on Canvas Competition – Harn Museum of Art.
