The Town of Friday Harbor shares news about an artistic opportunity for island poets of all ages.
Entries in the 2023 Poetry Garden Contest are due Monday, Oct. 31. San Juan County residents of all ages are encouraged to enter the contest sponsored by the Town of Friday Harbor and Friday Harbor Arts Commission.
Winners in adult and student divisions will be determined by past Washington State Poet Laureate and Seattle Civic Poet Claudia Castro Luna. Engravings of the 30 winning poems will replace the original winners, which have been on display since spring 2020 in poetry gardens throughout the town. A booklet of the poems will be published for limited distribution.
Further details may be found on the Town website or by contacting the Friday Harbor Arts Commission at [email protected]. Entries should be mailed to Poetry Garden Contest, Town of Friday Harbor, P.O. Box 219, Friday Harbor, WA 98250 or delivered to Town Hall at 60 Second Street. There is no entry fee.
