Calling all poets! In honor of National Poetry Month, RHPL is having a youth poetry writing contest. Whether you write poems all the time or you’ve never written a poem before, this is your chance to express yourself and share your words with the community.
Contestants are encouraged to submit up to three poems. There will be prize winners, and the winners’ poems will be on the RHPL blog!
Submissions will be accepted from April 6 at 9 a.m. until April 24 at 6 p.m. The winners will be announced on April 30.
