Calling All Poets! - Alamance County Poetry Stroll
The Alamance County Public Libraries and the Burlington Writer’s Club are excited to announce the Alamance County Poetry Stroll 2025 Contest!
In April 2025, they will post posters, each with a poem, in business front windows in downtown Elon, Burlington, Graham, Haw River, Green Level, Saxapahaw, and Mebane. These posters will be displayed for the entire month to celebrate National Poetry Month. At the bottom of the poster is a QR code, where strollers can vote for their favorite poem.
The criteria are simple:
-Poems must fit on our poster (11x17). Ideally, this means 20 lines (or 40 lines if the lines are short and can fit in two columns);
-Poems must be original and unpublished;
-Poems must be family-friendly (no gratuitous sex or violence);
-Anyone living in, from, or associated with Alamance County is eligible
-Poems in different languages are accepted
-Entries will be accepted until February 15, 2025.
To enter your poem into the contest just visit their website: https://library.alamancecountync.gov/calendar/alamance-county-poetry-stroll-2025/
We wish you the best of luck!
