The Walnut Creek Library Foundation celebrates poetry with the fourth annual student poetry contest, encouraging young writers to stretch their imaginations and dream big. In recognition of the 150th anniversary of the Civil War, “Freedom” is the theme for this year’s contest.

Prizes will be awarded to the first, second and third place winners in four grade level categories: K-3, 4-5, 6-8 and 9-12. Finalists will be judged by students in the St. Mary’s College Master of Fine Arts program. Students are invited to reflect on the theme, “Freedom” and submit their poem by March 9, 2012.
