Winning poems will be displayed at the Shoreline Arts Festival in June. Poems will be judged in three separate divisions: Secondary Student (grades 7-12), College Student, and Non-Student Adult.

Cash prizes will be awarded in College and Adult categories. Submission deadline is March 19, 2010. Application forms are available online at the Arts Council website.    For more information please contact the Arts Council office at 206-417-4645 or email.
