All high school students in Santa Cruz County were eligible to enter the annual poetry competition.
This year 370 poems were submitted and read by our three judges: Doren Robbins,
Marjorie Simon and Len Anderson. The following cash prizes will be awarded:
First Prize: $100 cash
In addition, five poems will receive Honorable Mention. At the reading, a copy of the annual Anthology
containing 50 poems selected by the judges will be given to each student
whose poem appears in it, and will be available for purchase at $5.
All the students whose poems appear in the anthology are invited to
read their selected poems. Admission is free.
For more information, contact Len Anderson at 464-8983 or

Poetry Santa Cruz congratulates not only the prize winners, honorable mentions and others
included in the anthology, but all the students who wrote and submitted their poems, for entering
into the process of engaging thought, feeling, language, image and sound in the making of
poetry. Learning is the big prize.
