Robert Frost International Poetry Contest for Children and Teens

The Studios of Key West is pleased to announce the 2013 Robert Frost Poetry Contest for Children and Teens.

Through funds established by the Jeane and Jessie Porter Fund at the Community Foundation of the Florida Keys, TSKW is proud to administer a special component of this contest. Jeane Porter was especially committed to encouraging young writers, and supported the Poetry in Schools contest in Monroe County.

The Frost Poetry Contest for Children and Teens continues to nurture and develop the interest of young poets by hosting two juried contests for children ages 6-12 and teens ages 13-18. Poetry can be any length, based on any subject, and be rhymed or unrhymed.

Winning entries will be on display at The Studios of Key West from April 18-May 10. Winners will be recognized at a reception and public reading on April 20.

Six awards (1st, 2nd & 3rd place & 3 hon mentions) in each age group.  Plus – a top ‘local’s prize’ will also be awarded in each age group.
