Mass Poetry is running a poetry contest in celebration of the centennial of John F. Kennedy's birth. The contest is open until October 6, 2017. Entries will be judged throughout October and November by MFA candidates, and finalists will be chosen by former US Poet Laureate Robert Pinsky and announced in late November. The JFK Library Foundation will host an event honoring all entrants, their teachers, and their families in early December. All winners and runners up will receive stipends with the intent to be used to further their education: High School Winner - $200; High School Runner Up - $150. Poems must relate to the subject of John F. Kennedy in any number of facets – poems need not directly name John F. Kennedy but must relate to his life and/or work. 1 winner and 1 runner up will be selected from high school entries (grades 9 – 12). Students may submit only one original, unpublished poem for consideration. To learn more and submit a poem, please visit masspoetry.org/jfk-poetr
