Kre8tive Kids Poetry Writing Contest Rules

“What Color is Love?”

 

 

v     The title and theme for the Kre8tive Kids 2010 Poetry Contest is “What Color is Love?”  Poems should be written with this title and theme in mind.  The theme relates to the fact that kids and adults should be open to accepting, respecting, embracing and even loving people of different racial and cultural backgrounds.  This, however, does not mean that race and/or culture have to be written about as part of the poem…be Kre8tive.

v     Only one entry per person will be accepted.  Entries must be submitted using the official Kre8tive Kids entry form.  Please type or print your poem legibly so that it can be read.

v     Poems can not be more than 25 lines of text.

v     The contest is open to students in grades K – 12 in the United States.  Entries will be divided into four grade divisions  (K-2    3-5    6-8    9-12).  A least one winner from each grade division will be selected.  Each winner will receive a $100 value prize package.

v     To enter the contest, mail your completed entry form with your poem to:
