Express yourself! Check out these writing, art and poetry contests and compete with kids around the world.
Have you always wanted to write a letter to your favorite author? If you enter the Letters about Literature contest you can do just that and win prizes! This national reading and writing program invites readers in grades 4-12 to write personal letters to authors, past or present, who have changed their views of the world or of themselves.
If you are an artist or poet (or both!), check out the River of Words contest, an international poetry and art project that encourages K-12 students to explore and interpret their natural homes through the arts.
If you love to be on stage, then Poetry Out Loud is for you. This national poetry recitation contest for high school students brings poems to life as students compete by performing their favorite poems through the use of slam poetry, spoken word and theater.
