Student Poetry Project

The Student Poetry Project is an annual contest brought to you by WDIY and the Lehigh Valley Press. All Lehigh Valley elementary, middle, and high school students are encouraged to submit an original poem during the open submission period beginning each December. Then, every April, in celebration of April as National Poetry Month, one finalist is selected from each of the elementary, middle, and high school categories. The winners are invited onto WDIY's Lehigh Valley Arts Salon to read their poem and discuss their writing live on the air. The winning poems are also published in the eight Press newspapers and websites. You can listen to the 2015 winners below:
