Pizza Poetry Submissions Are OPEN!
Attention writers ages 6-18
Want to share your poetry with New Orleans through the magic of pizza???
The Pizza Poetry Project celebrates National Poetry Month and the power of New Orleans youth voices by publishing poems on pizza boxes on Pizza Poetry Day – this year, on April 29th. The best poems from grade bands 1-3, 4-8, and 9-12th will be selected as Pizza Poet Laureates*. Students will receive a certificate and be celebrated at our Pizza Poetry Party!
To have your poem featured on a pizza box you must:
1. Be between the ages of 6 and 18.
2. Email your poem to pizzapoetry@826neworleans.org by 5pm March 31st. We accept poems typed in the body of the email, or attached as Word or Google docs. No PDFs please.
3. Include your Name, Age, and School. Please also include your poem’s title if there is one. Any poems without a title will be printed with “Untitled.”
4. Attach the consent to print form signed by you, or your parent if you are under 18 years old.
Questions? Email pizzapoetry@826neworleans.org
*Only students who attend Orleans Parish Public Schools are eligible to be selected as Poet Laureates.
