Kick off the summer with a celebration of emerging poets! The Longfellow Student Poetry Contest is an annual competition of original poetry, with categories for high school, middle school, and elementary school students. Students will read their winning poems at this ceremony, followed by a celebration on the lawn.
The contest aims to encourage and celebrate young poets in exploring their craft, and is co-sponsored by the Frank Buda Memorial Fund, New England Poetry Club, Friends of the Longfellow House-Washington’s Headquarters, and National Park Service.
The reading will be held on the East Lawn, which is wheelchair accessible via gravel pathways. Accessible parking spaces are located at the end of the driveway. Learn more about site accessibility here.
In the case of inclement weather, the reading will be moved indoors.
