The 17th Annual Walt Howat Youth Poetry Competition

The Music in My Heart

The 17th Annual Walt Howat Youth Poetry Competition is inviting submissions from poets in grades 2 through 8.

Do drums make your heart dance? Does your favorite song make you want to sing out loud? Then grab your pencil – it’s time to turn those musical feelings into poetry! Whether it’s about a melody, a favorite singer or group, an instrument, a musical memory or your grandma’s favorite song, we want to hear YOUR poetic voice!
