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 5-12 in Public, Private or Home-school settings across the USA. Entries may be submitted in English, Spanish, or French *if in Spanish or French a translation must be submitted with the poem. 

One entry per student.

Entries must incorporate a creative component such as a "Blackout poetry" form as shown below. Poems must be part of the lesson found here.

Winning poem will receive $100 in cash and prizes for student, teacher & school!
