Call for Hokudai Senryu Contest entries until February 21, 2025

Entries are now open for the Senryu Contest under the theme of “Hokkaido University and I.”

Create a senryu* about what you like about Hokudai or your thoughts and feelings at Hokkaido University.
It can be anything from what you discovered at Hokkaido University that you wish to share to, even a little daily annoyance.

We welcome your entries in the form of very short poetry of three lines in any of your preferred language.

In March 2025, excellent pieces will be shown on our website and special awards will be given to particularly outstanding ones.

See “Website” below for more details.

* Senryu is a form of Japanese short poetry that consists of three lines with a 5-7-5 syllable pattern and tends to explore human nature, emotions, and everyday life with a humorous or satirical tone.
