Do you like money? Cars? Fabulous prizes? Well, those are just the kind of things you can write about for Sightline’s first ever poetry contest! Let your imagination fly and prove your literary genius to the entire school!
Your poem will be judged anonymously by Sightline’s own literary expert. The top three poems will be posted in the Literature section of the Sightline website.
