6th Annual Poetry Contest
FRIENDS OF WATER COOPERATION
     Inspired by the United Nations 2013 designation, the theme this year is the necessity of clean water--for health, hygiene, enjoyment--and the importance of helping, through education and diplomacy, those less fortunate than we are access to clean water.  Contestants may enter up to three original poems, no longer than 32 lines each.  Please include your name, address, age phone number and name of your school and submit poems along with entry form.

     This contest is open to children and teens enrolled in the community schools of Westhampton, Westhampton Beach, East Moriches, Eastport, East Quogue, Manorville, Quiogue, Remsenburg and Speonk.

The poems will be judged in four categories:
Kindergarten- grade 2
Grades 3-6
Grades 7-9
Grades 10-12

     A winner from each category will receive a cash prize of $50.00 with second place receiving $25.00 and honorable mention receiving $10.00.   The winning poems will be published in the Westhampton Free Library’s Newsletter.
Ask a children’s or teen librarian for an application or you can download the form on the library’s web site: www.westhamptonlibrary.net

This contest is sponsored by the Friends of The Westhampton Free Library.
