Michigan High-School Poetry ContestAlbion College will again sponsor a poetry contest for high school students in Michigan. All Michigan high school students are eligible to enter. All entries must be postmarked by Friday, February 19, 2010. Winners will be chosen by a panel of judges selected by the Albion College English Department. All participants will be notified of results after all poems are read and judged. Winners and finalists, along with their families and teachers, will be invited to a poetry reading on the Albion College campus in the spring of 2010. The reading will be preceded by a reception where students will receive awards and meet members of the Albion English faculty.
