Spark! Poetry Writing & Recitation Competition For High School Students
Entries Open June 1, Deadline Sept. 30, 2015
Clark County high school students in grades 9 – 12 are invited to submit original poems for the Vegas Valley Book Festival 2015 Spark! Poetry Writing & Recitation Competition by Sept. 30. Modeled after the national Poetry Out Loud competition and the Scholastic Writing competition, high school students will have the opportunity to recite their own poetry during the Vegas Valley Book Festival Saturday, Oct. 17. The first-place prize is $300. The second-place winner will receive $200 and the third-place prize is $100.
Students will be asked to present three original poems to be judged by a panel consisting of poets, authors, educators and other community members. Panelists will use scoring guidelines to assign numerical values to the evaluation criteria.
There will be three presentation rounds. Students who registered for Spark! between June 1 and Sept. 30 will be eligible to present one poem in the first round. The top six students will present in the second round. The top three students will present in the third round to determine first, second and third place. Scores will be cumulative. Student poets must present the poems they submitted on their registration form.
This program is supported by public funding for the arts through the Nevada Arts Council, a division of the Nevada Department of Tourism and Cultural Affairs, the National Endowment for the Arts, the Vegas Valley Book Festival, the Nevada Humanities and the National Endowment for the Humanities.
