BCTELA Poetry Contest Deadline is Friday, June 1
Choose two poems, take your name off of each poem. Check for any errors. Revise. Check again. Print them out. Staple them to the contest cover sheet. Be sure to fill in the cover sheet expertly. Be especially neat with your email address as they contact you via email. Check your email this summer as they will contact you if your work is chosen for publication. Good luck.
I have to mail the entries on Friday so I cannot accept late work. Do your best to meet this deadline as your poems are fantastic and should be in every school library of this province!
