Write a poem and win the $1,000.00 grand prize! Hollywood's Famous Poets Society is sponsoring a new poetry contest, open to everyone. There is no entry fee, and nothing to buy. Poets from the Yreka area, especially beginners, are encouraged to enter for their chance to win and share their artistry with others.
To enter send one poem of 21 lines or less: Free Poetry Contest, 1626 N Wilcox Ave #126, Hollywood, CA 90028. Or enter on-line at www.famouspoets.com. The deadline for entering is June 14, 2006. A winner's list will be posted online. Editors reserve the right to publish winning poems online or in a pamphlet.
"Any poet, whether published or not, can be a winner," says Executive Director Mark Schramm.
"When people learn about our free poetry contest, they suddenly realize that their own poetic talent can win cash prizes, as well as garner national recognition." Famous Poets has awarded over $400,000.00 in cash to amateur poets over the past 8 years, more than any other poetry society. We are helping Poetry, the Cinderella of the Arts, find her glass slipper. May we slip the shoe on you next?
