It may be serious or light verse. 4. Entries are due to the library by Wednesday, April 22nd. E-mail entries to Faith McCarrick ([email protected]) are accepted if sent by the 22nd. If you do not get an e-mail response, please call Mrs. McCarrick at the library to verify that she has gotten the entry. 5. Prizes will be given in the following categories: Most Original, Best Poetic Form/Style, Best Use of Poetic Techniques, and Best Focus (poem that most effectively communicates its message). Spelling, grammar and punctuation will be considered, but not weighed as heavily. 6. Winners will receive gift cards from Barnes & Noble and a bound volume of all the winning entries from 2015. A copy of this volume will be added to the library’s teen book collection. 7. The winners will be contacted the week of May 11th at the latest.
