NEUROSCIENCE FOR KIDS WRITING CONTEST - NOW OPEN
The 2007-2008 NEUROSCIENCE FOR KIDS WRITING CONTEST is now open to
students in kindergarten through high school. Use your imagination to
create a poem, limerick or haiku about the brain and you might win a
prize. The complete set of rules and the official entry form for the
contest are available at:

http://faculty.washington.edu/chudler/contest8.html

Here is a summary of the contest rules:
All poems, limericks and haiku must have at least THREE lines and CANNOT
be longer than TEN lines. Material that is shorter than three lines or
longer than ten lines will not be read. All material must have a
neuroscience theme such as brain anatomy (a part of the brain), brain
function (memory, language, emotions, movement, the senses, etc.), drug
abuse or brain health (helmets, brain disorders, etc.). Be creative! Use
your brain! Visit the Neuroscience for Kids pages for ideas and
information!
If you are a student in kindergarten to Grade 2: write a poem in any
style; it doesn't even have to rhyme.
If you are a student in Grade 3 to Grade 5: write a poem that rhymes. The
rhymes can occur in any pattern. For example, lines one and two can rhyme,
lines three and four can rhyme, and lines five and six can rhyme. Or use
your imagination and create your own rhyming pattern.
If you are a student in Grade 6 to Grade 8: write a brainy haiku (3 lines
only). A haiku MUST use the following pattern: 5 syllables in the first
line; 7 syllables in the second line; 5 syllables in the third line. Here
is an example:

Three pounds of jelly
wobbling around in my skull
and it can do math

If you are a student in Grade 9 to Grade 12: write a brainy limerick. A
limerick has 5 lines: lines one, two and five rhyme with each other and
have the same number of syllables; lines three and four rhyme with each
other and have the same number of syllables. Here is an example of a
limerick:

The brain is important, that's true,
For all things a person will do,
>From reading to writing,
To skiing to biting,
It makes up the person who's you.

Books or other prizes will be awarded to multiple winners in each
category.
Other rules:
A. You must use an entry form for your writing and send it in using
"regular mail." Entries that are sent by e-mail will NOT be accepted.
B. Only ONE entry per student. If you cannot download the entry form, let
me know (e-mail: chudler@u.washington.edu) and I will send a form to you
attached to an e-mail.
C. Students may enter by themselves or teachers may make copies of the
entry form for their students and return completed entries in a single
package. The contest is open to students in all countries.
