Description
 
 
The purpose of the poetry contest is to bring recognition to poets both young and old. Winners share over $70,000 in prizes. With most contests regionally based, poets are competing against their peers in both age and location. In addition to the winning poems, other poems of high merit are accepted to be published in a hard bound anthology. Within the guidelines of accepting less than 50% of the poems that are entered in each contest, the contest is selective so that it is an honor to be accepted, yet not so exclusive that it is discouraging to enter. Unlike many other organizations who sponsor poetry contests, there is no entry fee and no required purchase in order to become published. We take pride in the fact that our staff is comprised of teachers, professors and poets. Creative Communication is devoted to the promotion of writing, teaching and appreciation of poetry. The intent of the poetry contest is to encourage creative writers. The top entries are published in an anthology that will record the poetic insights of today's poets. There is no requirement for a poet to purchase an anthology, however, if a poet wishes to purchase one, it is made available at an affordable price.

This is a great tool for teachers to use to encourage creative writing in their students. Teachers can have all of their students write a poem for the contest...many of them may be published and the kids will be so excited.
