Greensboro Bicentennial Poetry Contest

Muse on Greensboro - Greensboro Public Library's Bicentennial Poetry Contest

Celebrate the Bicentennial by writing a poem inspired by Greensboro’s past, present, or future. The winning poems will have a clear Greensboro connection. Poetic topics can be concrete in identifying Greensboro people and places or abstract in embracing emotions and understandings inspired by Greensboro events, such as topics about race relations and matters of faith. Let Greensboro become your poetic muse. What inspires and connects you and your family to the places and community life of the Gate City?

Poets may submit up to two unpublished poems.  First Place Prizes - $150; Second Place Prizes - $100.  There are four divisions for submission, so plenty of chances to win!

Visit the PoetryGSO web site for more information, entry forms and guidelines, as well as a place to submit your poem online.  Hurry!  The deadline for submitting your entry or entries is February 15!
