Programs for Students
2022 "Write Where You Are" Poetry Contest
|
The National Writing Project at Kent State University is accepting submissions for a poetry contest open to all Ohio students in grades K-12. This year's contest is once again organized by TC Amy Hirzel.
This Year's Prompt This year we will accept poetry in all forms based on the theme of "Write Where You Are." Students may write a poem about a place that holds special meaning to them: a bus stop, a corner in a classroom, a moonlit groove beneath the stars. We highly encourage students (if they can) to revisit these places of meaning and compose some of their verses surrounded by the place which inspires them.
