WESTMINSTER ART FESTIVAL
an annual juried exhibit of the visual arts on an environmental theme
sponsored by Westminster Presbyterian Church
Poetry 2022
Poets are invited to submit works on the theme
"A Certain Slant of Light"
Poetry submissions are limited to one or two 8 ½ x 11 page
(with minimum .5 inch margins)
Limit of two poems per poet.
Entry fee: $10 for one poem; $15 for two.
For 2022:
A poet who submits two poems may submit a third with no additional fee.
Once again this year we plan to present the poems accepted for inclusion in the festival in book form - since the previous years' books were so well-received! Because we don't plan to display the poems, the length limitation is now two pages.
Thanks to all the poets who submitted work for this year's Festival!
We anticipate that the poetry books will be available by the Awards
Presentation, Friday, May 13.
FIRST PRIZE $300
SECOND PRIZE $200
THIRD PRIZE $100
We are delighted to have local poet
