Contest for young poets

YOUNG writers can participate in the 2024 Caribbean World Poetry Day Competition for 2024.

The Bahamas, Curaçao, British Virgin Islands, and St. Maarten National Commissions for UNESCO have joined forces to organize an online Caribbean World Poetry Day Competition for 2024.

This year’s theme is ‘The Impact of Climate Change in the Caribbean Region’ and the competition has four age groups, 6 to 8; 9 to 12; 13 to 17; and 18 plus.

Each country can submit two entries per country for each age group and a local panel of judges will select the finalists in each category.

Entries must be submitted in English. Poems must be typed. There is no line or word limit, and any poetry style can be used.

Must clearly identify the participants’ name, age range, name of school, and language.

The submission deadline is 20 February 2024 and entries can be sent to deidrebevans@bahamas.gov. bs.
