I am expanding Kids Express poetry competition to ALL school aged children, regardless of whether or not they can make the event to perform their poem. I've spoken to a wonderful young lady, Siofra, who is going to help me out for the evening. She's a poet herself, a singer, musician, and quite a performer, and she's agreed to read the winning entries if the applicants aren't there.


HELP ME SPREAD THE WORD! Entries still need to be accompanied by an official application and release form. You can get a PDF or Word doc file sent to you if you e-mail me at PoetsExpress@darkworld.com.
