High school students from Cumberland, Androscoggin and Sagadahoc Counties are invited to submit poems to be reviewed by Betsy Sholl, Maine’s poet laureate.
The due date for submissions is March 1, and the festival will be held on the Freeport campus on May 3. All finalists will receive gift certificates and a booklet of the winning poems.
