Welcome to the fifth edition of the annual Main Street Voices Poetry Contest
The Main Street Voices Poetry Contest was started five years ago with the simple goal of recognizing and celebrating the unique, resplendent voices of Bucks County writers and artists. Bucks County has a rich and vibrant history of producing thoughtful and thought-provoking poetry and we are pleased to play a role in continuing our amazing poetical tradition. So, now we ask all of you to help us encourage and inspire poets of all ages in the Bucks County community to share the importance of poetry and the written word.
IMPORTANT: The Main Street Voices Poetry Contest is open to all residents of Bucks County, with monetary awards given to entries in the adult and student categories. The Doylestown Bookshop will post the names of student winners and adult winners and runners-up on the Main Street Voices page by May 6th.
