May I suggest combining NaiSaiKu with THE AMERICAN SANDWICH?
Invite entries for the disciplines under the heading, ‘TUESDAY CHOICE’.
A one-stop-shop for awareness and encouragement of ALL aspects.

To complement the theme, you could also consider HAIKU entries.

‘TUESDAY CHOICE’.
AMERICAN SANDWICH, NaiSaiKu, AND HAIKU, ALL under one roof.
Why not?

THE AMERICAN SANDWICH, NaiSaiKu, AND HAIKU in ‘TUESDAY CHOICE’.
Together under one roof.
It’s only a suggestion, but it may just help to raise awareness.


AND FINALLY… JUST IN CASE YOU’RE STILL HUNGRY

Here’s a sentence that contains the word ‘AND’, five times consecutively.
I saw a sign that read ‘JONESANDSONS’, and realised something was wrong.
There should have been two clear spaces; between JONES and AND, and AND and Sons.
