Kent District Library is currently accepting entries to the annual Write Michigan Teen Poetry Contest, open to teens in grades 6-12 living or attending school in Kent County.


This is a great opportunity for teens to share their writing and win a cool prize. Teens are encouraged to submit up to two poems by April 1 to be eligible to win a $50 Meijer gift card.

There’s more. Teens who enter the Poetry Contest are invited to read one of their poems at a Teen Poetry Slam for another chance to win. The Slam takes place at 6 p.m. on Thursday, April 30, at the Kentwood (Richard L. Root) Branch.
