Blackout Poetry Contest

Blackout Poetry Corner at the SIC gave students the opportunity to create poems from established texts. Students, provided with a space, pages of texts to choose from, colour pencils and markers, put their artistic and poetic talents to work.

After selecting and redacting words into a poetic verse, unwanted words are "blackouted" in a relevant and visually appealing manner to create a work of art.

This entry by Judy Zhu demonstrates artistry.

Winners Eric Lu (3rd), Maya Modgill (1st) and Kate Flint (2nd) smiles for the camera here after receiving a poetry book each for their outstanding efforts in this contest. Their blackout poems were picked out by Mrs Curtis, who first suggested this for the SIC.

Here are the winning entries:
