CONTEST NOW CLOSED

Through Their Eyes poetry contest has 8 postcards available to request or download for your students crammed with inspiration. Each card is themed with ideas on one side and a quote on the reverse with the intention of creating a buzz around poetry writing! Some will cause debate, some are light-hearted and others are gritty, perhaps even controversial.

From world leaders and influencers to being a teen and the animal kingdom, there’s something to engage every student. Students can interpret the themes and ideas as they wish.

Their challenge is to write a poem from someone or something’s point of view
