Students can enter only one poem and one essay per deadline. Be sure to follow all of the website directions regarding number of lines, content, length etc or you will automatically be disqualified. Also, encourage the kids to use MY NAME for the teacher and the school's address, rather than your home address. Best of luck in the competition! There are so many capable writers among you!
