Spice Up Your Creativity! ACS Illustrated Poem Contest – Theme: The Hidden Life of Spices

By: Linda Osborn – Senior Chemists Committee Chair Do you know any children that have a passion for art, poetry, or science? Here’s your chance to have them blend all three in the 2025 Illustrated Poem Contest, sponsored by the Indiana Local Section of the American Chemical Society! We’re inviting all K–12 students to explore the rich, surprising stories behind the spices we use every day. From fiery peppers to fragrant cloves, what secrets might your spice reveal? <figure id="attachment_2152" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-2152" style="width: 547px" class="wp-caption alignright"><a href="https://i0.wp.com/www.acsindiana.org/acs/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/image001.png"><img data-attachment-id="2152" data-permalink="http://www.acsindiana.org/acs/events/acs-illustrated-poem-contest-2025-spices/image001/" data-orig-file="https://i0.wp.com/www.acsindiana.org/acs/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/image001.png?fit=1032%2C857" data-orig-size="1032,857" data-comments-opened="0" data-image-meta="{"aperture":"0","credit":"","camera":"","caption":"","created_timestamp":"0","copyright":"","focal_length":"0","iso":"0","shutter_speed":"0","title":"","orientation":"0"}" data-image-title="ACS Illustrated Poem Contest 2025 Image" data-image-description="Rules and instructions for the ACS Illustrated Poem Contest " data-image-caption="" data-medium-file="https://i0.wp.com/www.acsindiana.org/acs/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/image001.png?fit=300%2C249" data-large-file="https://i0.wp.com/www.acsindiana.org/acs/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/image001.png?fit=1015%2C843" decoding="async" loading="lazy" class=" wp-image-2152" src="https://i0.wp.com/www.acsindiana.org/acs/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/image001.png?resize=547%2C454" alt="Image of ACS Illustrated Poem Contest rules and instructions" width="547" height="454" srcset="https://i0.wp.com/www.acsindiana.org/acs/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/image001.png?resize=300%2C249 300w, https://i0.wp.com/www.acsindiana.org/acs/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/image001.png?resize=1024%2C850 1024w, https://i0.wp.com/www.acsindiana.org/acs/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/image001.png?resize=768%2C638 768w, https://i0.wp.com/www.acsindiana.org/acs/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/image001.png?resize=241%2C200 241w, https://i0.wp.com/www.acsindiana.org/acs/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/image001.png?w=1032 1032w" sizes="(max-width: 547px) 100vw, 547px" data-recalc-dims="1" /></a><figcaption id="caption-attachment-2152" class="wp-caption-text">Rules and instructions for the ACS Illustrated Poem Contest</figcaption></figure> Submission Deadline: Wednesday, October 24, 2025, by 11:59 PM ET Email entries to: Linda Osborn – <a href="mailto:lindavosborn@gmail.com">lindavosborn@gmail.com</a> Prizes awarded in each age group: – 1st Place: $100 – 2nd Place: $50 – 3rd Place: $25 But that’s not all—Indiana’s top poem will advance to the National ACS Illustrated Poem Contest for a chance to be featured on the ACS website and win even more national recognition!
