About Us

The America Library of Poetry is dedicated to the expression of creativity through writing. 
From poetry to short stories, students across the country now have an outlet and a forum 
in which they can share their thoughts, feelings, and experiences.
Each year The America Library of Poetry 
sponsors writing contests throughout The United States of America.  

​

The Student Poetry Contest is for school age children enrolled in grades 3-12, 
including tutored and home schooled children.
Entrants may enter the contest by clicking here.

Entries from the Student Poetry Contest are judged in four divisions:
grades 3-5, grades 6-7, grades 8-9, and grades 10-12.  

Winners and Runners Up in each division of the Student Poetry Contest 
will receive a prize and Certificate of Achievement. 
The writer who places first overall receives the Editor's Choice Award.
A select number of writers may be chosen to be published in a future compilation, 
and as such, will have the unique opportunity of seeing their poetry in print. 

We at The America Library of Poetry take great delight in seeing 
a renewed spark of interest in reading and writing, 
and hopefully, through our support and recognition of writers everywhere 
we will continue to fan the flames of literacy in America.
