Poetry and Flash Fiction Contest for Teens
The Library's teen advisory board, the Teen Think Tank, voted to continue the poetry contest for an 8th year. We have added a flash fiction option to the contest and moved up the contest deadline to April 1. The TTT chose two themes this year suggested at last year's poetry reception. And, we have invited literary historian and playwright, Rob Velella to return as our reception speaker on Thursday, April 12th, 6:30 to 8:30 PM. This year he will appear as, and dramatically portray, Nathaniel Hawthorne. Mr. Velella specializes in American literature of the nineteenth century.

POETRY & FLASH FICTION CONTEST Rules: Open to teens in grades 6 to 12, who are residents of Essex County in Massachusetts. Poem or story entry must be original work. Flash fiction story must be 300 words or less. Maximum of 3 entries per author may be entered. THEME: outer space –or- unexplored territory. Poems and stories must incorporate theme or have an associative metaphor such as: foreign, cosmic, unknown, remote, alien, etc..
