How to Participate
Everyone is welcome! Call the Valencia Branch Library at 594-5390 for information about next year's Poetry Festival. If you would like to volunteer your assistance in setting up, or judging (adults only, please), please ask for John Munoz.
Every year, the Valencia Teen Poetry Festival provides middle- and high-school students the chance to share their original poetry with fellow students, teachers, families, and the community.
The festival (which coincides with Young People's Poetry Week in April) recognizes the efforts of teen poets with incentives, door prizes, and plaque awards.
