Accepting submissions through November

— from David M. Jenkins for Friday Harbor Arts Commission —

Friday Harbor will soon be the home of four poetry gardens. The Town of Friday Harbor and the Friday Harbor Arts Commission are establishing the new poetry gardens as a way of bringing poetry—a way of seeing our world through another’s mind—into our everyday experience. All of the poems to be displayed in the gardens will be chosen from submissions to a contest that runs from September 10 until November 30, 2019.

All islanders, including students, are encouraged to submit their best poem(s) for inclusion in one of the gardens! Guidelines for poetry submission: No fee for submissions.

Each poem should be typed on an 8-1/2 x 11 inch paper in 12 pt. font, without the name of the author included. The cover letter should list the title(s) of the enclosed poem(s), the author’s name, grade (if a student), mailing address, phone number, and e-mail.

Send poetry submissions to: Poetry Garden Contest, c/o Friday Harbor Arts Commission, P .O. Box 219, Friday Harbor, WA 98250.
