at Bristol Eastern High School.
Breaking
News for 2012:
2012 COLT POETRY CONTEST
/ POEM SELECTION CHANGES
After careful
consideration of feedback from CT-COLT members,
the Executive Board has decided to treat the 2012
Poetry Contest as a "crossover year" with reference
to our piloted slates of poems.
Accordingly, members this year may either
avail themselves of the new slates chosen by our
experts, OR (as in the past) have students
prepare poems that are already part of their
curricula. By our 2013 contest, however, we
shall have completed the transition to an
expanded set of slates. (Details of how to
contribute to this expanded initiative will be
available later this Spring.)
If you plan to use different selections,
electronic copies must be submitted by
the Registration Deadline of February 17,
2012 to MaryLouise Ennis, Chair of
Poetry Judges; <ml.ennis@aya.yale.edu>.
These poems will then be uploaded to our
judges' website. Please send PDFs or files
in MS Word or in Pages (no WordPerfect):
1) Include one poem per page per
language level
2) Number the lines: 10-20 for
Middle School 1, 2, Native, High School
1; 14-30 lines for High School 2 and
above.
3) Please indicate your school in
your email, especially if you are using
a personal email account.
As always, three hard-copies of each
poem -- whether from the slates or of your
choosing -- must accompany the registration
materials mailed to Paul St. Louis.
Please know
how much COLT appreciates your patience
as we continue to improve our Poetry
Contest!
