From the well-trodden words of Edgar Allen Poe to the revolutionary expression of Rupi Kaur, poetry has been long embedded in our history and our identity. Students will hone their literary and creative skills to compete in this poetry contest. The topic for the poem will be announced 20 minutes prior to the competition. The competition will test not only a student's ability to write poetry, but also their ability to present their poetry with conviction and panache!

Ladies and gentlemen... Have you ever watched a ridiculous show like Monty python and wondered, what would happen if they ran commercials for toothpaste after something completely different?
Well, now you don't have to anymore, because, boy, have we got the opportunity for you! You are invited to make the zaniest and craziest ads (or is it advertisement?) for a product we'll assign you, as well as something you can choose on your own. This is your chance to make those blasted advertisements not only bearable for once, but actually funny for once.
Be careful though! You have only a single minute to show your ad, and due to um... Budget constraints... You only have a limited amount of time to make the ad! So what are you waiting for? Sign up, sign up!
