Poetry, unlike any other form of written or spoken expression, is able to succinctly express the deepest of thoughts and emotions.

 

Our poetry contest is open to students in grades 6-12 in Public, Private or Home-school settings in the USA, Canada, or Latin America. Entries may be submitted in English, Spanish, or French.

One entry per student.

Entries must incorporate a creative component such as a "Blackout poetry" form.

Winning poem will receive $100 in cash and prizes *for foreign entries, prizes will be awarded in such a way as to be usable in the winner's country.
