Spill the Ink Poetry Contest

Spill the Ink is an annual poetry contest for all ages. Each Spring, the community is encouraged to spill the ink and share their voice. Submissions are accepted from March 4 – April 8, 2024, and on Thursday, April 25, the contest culminates in a celebratory public reading where winners are announced for children, teen, and adult age groups.

Winning writers will receive a prize (details forthcoming) and finalists will be published in our Spill the Ink poetry zine.
