Words on Canvas Writing Competition
Within every work of art is a story, a life and a spark of inspiration.
Words on Canvas
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 23 artworks covering each of the Harn’s collecting areas on view throughout the museum.
Writers of winning entries will be awarded fun prizes and will have the opportunity to read their entry in front of their artwork at the Harn’s Museum. Their essay/poem will be printed in a brochure to be given to them and shared with audiences; and will be featured on the innovative Walking Station which dispenses stories at the push of a button.
Students may submit until midnight, February 28, 2025.
Winners will be announced on by late-March and the reception, award presentation, and readings will be celebrated at our April Museum Nights on April 10, 2025.
