Voices Above the Notches 2022
Young people have powerful voices, and those living north of the Notches hold especially vibrant and unique perspectives on life in NH.
To support the North Country’s young writers, The Frost Place in Franconia, NH holds a poetry competition for youth from grades 5 -12. Our goal is to encourage and celebrate the artistry, voice, and skill of our state’s budding poets.
The 2022 Youth Poets’ Contest is now open to students in 3 age groups:
- Grades 5 & 6
- Grades 7 & 8
- Grades 9 – 12
Guidelines and Contest Rewards
Each student may submit 1 or 2 poems for judging. All submissions are due by March 25, 2022.
