SPC Poetry Contest

Poetry is the most artistic and liberating form of creative writing. You can do just about anything in a poem; that’s why poetry writing is so wild and free. Poets have complete liberty to build something out of nothing simply by stringing words together.

​

If you are a young person under 17, we want to read your poetry. We are looking for talented poets to feature on our monthly newsletters. This is a free contest, so there is no entry fee. When you submit a poem to us, you retain all the rights to your work. Winning poems will appear on our newsletters with the copyright notice intact and may be published in the future.
