Tell us how by participating in this year’s "Young Minds Dreaming Poetry Contest"! We invite you to participate by sharing poems about a person, place, or an experience that has changed your life. Each of us has within us the ability to empower and inspire ourselves and others. We all have ideas about our world. Your poetry may change the world in your own unique way.
By submitting your poem, you have the opportunity to meet this year’s special guest, Kwame Alexander--poet, educator, and the New York Times Bestselling author!
First, Second, and Third Place winners will be selected for the following groups: Grades 3-5, Grades 6-8, and Grades 9-12. Winners and their families will be invited to the State Library to read their poems, meet Kwame Alexander, receive a signed copy of his book, Out of Wonder, and awarded an Amazon gift card, up to $50!
