Call for High School Student Poetry
The Wisconsin Fellowship of Poets, organizer of an annual student poetry contest, partners with the Woodson Art Museum, inviting high school students to participate in a statewide ekphrastic poetry competition. Students will write and submit poems inspired by artwork images from the Woodson Art Museum’s collection; see artwork images below. An installation of the winning poems and collection artworks will follow in April during National Poetry Month. For additional information and entry guidelines, check the Wisconsin Fellowship of Poets student contests webpage: www.wfop.org/student-contests.

A reception and poetry reading was held on Saturday, April 6, 2024 at the Woodson Art Museum; the winning poems can be found here.
