Hey Whitby writers! Thanks to you, our first annual poetry contest was a tremendous success. Our panel of judges was incredibly impressed by the scope of work that arrived in our submission boxes. It made it exceptionally difficult to choose finalists in our two categories!
Congratulations to our winners and runner-ups. A shout out to all of you who were brave enough to share your poetry. We're already looking forward to next year!
Are you a poet, and do you know it? April is National Poetry Month and we’re celebrating with a fun contest! Submit a poem by April 21 in one of two divisions: Grades 7-12 or the 18-plus category. Submission boxes can be found at our three locations starting April 2. Winners will receive a prize and their poem will be published on the Whitby Public Library website.
