Hello! What do you want us to know about you?  

Tell us your story! It can be about a favorite hobby, or something that happened which made you happy or sad, or even what you like about your school or your home and why.

You can start your poem or essay with any of the prompts given below or come up with one of your own:

  • My truth is …

  • What I love …

  • What I think …

  • What I feel …

  • What happened one day …

  • What I would like to grow up to be …

  • or whatever you wish!

Write it up, draw some pictures too if you would like. Then either submit it here, or email it or mail it to us! Remember to ask your parent or caregiver to fill in the consent form too. Your essay should be of maximum 650 words long.

Each submission must be accompanied with a parental consent via the submit form and an acknowledgement of student authorship. The form will also let us know if you would like to have your writing to be published or not. All student writing will be published anonymously to preserve privacy. If the poem/essay seems to identify a particular student, then they will not be published but are eligible for awards, of course. Student and family privacy is of utmost importance to the judges and organizers and will be protected.

Make sure to submit before May 15th 2024!

Looking forward to reading your poem/story and getting to know you !
