Poetry and Short Story Competition
Posted by: Ann Pechacek

It is that time of year again! The 8th Annual Worthington Libraries' Teen Poetry and Short Story Competition is almost here. Thursday, March 18, teens in 6th grade to 12th grade or homeschool equivalent, can start submitting their poetry/short story creations. Submissions will be accepted until Thursday, April 8.

Below is the basic information for the competition. Head to your nearest Worthington Library for more rules and guidelines and while there pick up an entry form and a great book of poetry to get some ideas.

To enter the competition, pick up an entry form and a complete set of rules at any Worthington Libraries location. You may submit up to three poems and/or two short stories.
A panel of six judges will review all submissions and select a total of six winners, three middle school and three high school.
Contest winners can present their work at an Open Mic Night for Teens on April 29 at 7 pm at Old Worthington Library.

If you need some inspiration, the Old Worthington Library will be hosting a 'Write Stuff' workshop. We will be focusing on POETRY! Registration is recommended but not required. The Write Stuff program will be held on Saturday, March 13 at 2pm in the Old Worthington LIbrary meeting room.
