• No shape poems
• Please let us know of any special circumstances concerning students and/or their submissions.

Email Submission

It is very important that each student’s information is included with his/her poem and that it is attached to an email from the teacher or librarian.

Teacher/Librarian Email – the email from the teacher or librarian should include the following information:

• Teacher/Librarian name
• School Name
• School Address

Email Attachment – each student poem can be attached as a separate document or all can be in one document. However, each poem must be clearly labeled with the following student information:

• Student Name
• Student Grade
• Student Age
• Teacher’s or Librarian’s Name
• School Name
• Number of words in poem
• If you prefer that the acceptance letter be sent directly to the student, please include the student’s address; otherwise, acceptance letters will be sent to the school address.
