Announcing the ‘Splish Splash Poetry’ Contest Winners

This year’s poetry contest was quite a success! The theme this year was “Splish Splash Poetry” and we received over 1,500 poems from students in grades K–12 that demonstrate their poetic genius and creativity.

You can view our online collection of participants and see the fantastic submissions we received this year.

If you submitted a poem, you can download your certificate of participation, print it, personalize it by filling in your poet’s name, and pin it somewhere in your home to encourage more writing.
