NARROWSBURG, NY (December 4, 2012) – The Upper Delaware Writers Collective (UDWC) is hosting a poetry contest open to all students grades 2 – 12, and a poster contest open to high school students, in conjunction with its 20^th Anniversary in 2013. Students must reside in Sullivan County to enter the contest.

A separate and independent “blue ribbon” panel of judges will choose winners and honorable mentions, to include as many deserving students as possible. The winning poster design will be used to produce a poster for each of the winning poems. An awards ceremony will take place on May 18 in Narrowsburg, at a day-long festival, The River Rocks Poetry Jamboree.

The mission of the Upper Delaware Writers Collective is to enhance the literary arts in the region and is most interested in involving youth in its efforts.
