As a supporter of all forms of writing, I agreed to post this notice here:
**************
Dear fellow poets,
It’s time for submissions to the third annual “Poetry on Canvas” contest. Open to UTAH POETS ONLY. Gather your best poems and tell your friends.
Forty of the winning poems will be printed in the third edition of Utah Arts Voices,
a literary annual. Fifteen of these forty will advance and be
interpreted into art by local artists. The poem and painting combination
will be displayed at the American Fork City Hall during April.
All
poets and artists will be honored at a public gala the evening of May
4, 2013. Mark your calendars for the full day as Scott Livingston, the
new writing instructor for the Council, will offer a writing seminar for
all genres. We’ll send more information as the event nears.
ENTRY FEE: $8.00 per person. NOT $8.00 per entry. The fee will go toward printing costs of the Utah Arts Voices
book, of which EACH submitter will receive one copy. Additional copies
will sell for $10.00 with applicable discounts for multiple purchases.
Please mail checks payable to the Timpanogos Arts Foundation:
