23rd Annual Santa Cruz County High School Poetry Competition The Submission postmark Deadline is extended one week to Saturday, March 26. Each year the High School Students of Santa Cruz County are encouraged to write poems and enter them in the annual competition. Poetry Santa Cruz is conducting the Competition in coordination with the Santa Cruz County Office of Education, the countys high schools, and with volunteer support from members of the community. The authors of the three poems judged best will receive cash prizes. An anthology will be printed with the approximately 50 poems selected by the panel of judges. What students need to know to enter the Competition: You must be a high school student and residing in or
attending a school in Santa Cruz County.
A panel of three judges will determine the winning poems.
Because the poems will represent our county high schools, we ask that the language of all submissions be appropriate for publication and reading in schools and in the wider community. Submit with your poems one Title Page with the following information on it:
If possible, save a computer copy of your poems. When the judges have made their decisions we will ask the students whose poems have been selected for the anthology to email those poems to us. The Postmark Deadline for Submissions is extended to Saturday, March 26, 2016.
