The 2024 Poetry contest is officially open for our State Qualifiers, the deadline for poetry submission is April 10th, 2024! Students (and coaches), here's a few things to remember...

• A parent/guardian must be logged in to submit the Google form
• Poems must be the student's own original work
• Formats accepted include Word.docx or PDF

Poetry submissions will be judged by Dr. George Bilgere, a successful, published poet and creative writing professor at John Carroll University.
