Join Elk County Council on the Arts in celebrating National Poetry Month this April by contributing to our crowdsourced community poem!
A crowdsourced poem is created entirely from words and lines submitted by the public on a particular theme. By compiling the various perspectives and voices together, crowdsourced poetry creates a lasting piece that speaks to and represents the community that writes it. All communities are ultimately poems in which each person who lives there contributes a verse; this year, help ECCOTA write it down for all of us to enjoy.
This year’s theme will be: “I dream a world.”
Elk County community members of all ages and perspectives are welcome to participate by completing the sentence “I dream a world.”
Submitted lines will be compiled into one poem. The final poem will be printed for display in the ECCOTA Gallery in April, National Poetry Month. We will combine submissions into one complete poem. Each contributor will be recognized at the end of the final poem, not with their individual line. We will do our best to incorporate the poetry exactly as submitted, but some editing may be necessary. Please keep submissions appropriate for audiences of all ages.
Submissions will be accepted through Wednesday, March 31.
