The Cambridge Public Library Annual Youth Poetry Contest, started in 1998, celebrates original poetry written by kids in kindergarten through eighth grade (or the age equivalent) in Cambridge. Every spring, winning poems are selected from each grade. Winners are invited to a special ceremony to read their poem aloud and receive an award.
This program is organized by the Central Square Branch of the Cambridge Public Library and is supported by the Friends of the Cambridge Public Library.
