OUTER CAPE HAIKU CONTEST
Help us celebrate National Poetry Month by testing your skill at creating your own haiku for the Provincetown Public Library’s first annual Outer Cape Haiku Contest!
To participate, submit your haiku (a short poem arranged in three lines of 5 syllables, 7 syllables, and 5 syllables respectively) to btaylor@clamsnet.org or drop off at the Library’s Center Street pick-up bin by Monday, April 19th.
Submissions must be from Outer Cape community members. Poems will be evaluated without the author’s name attached by a panel of three local judges. Winners will be announced and “published” on the Library’s website and social media accounts during the week of April 26. Prizes will be given for winners in each age group.
Have some fun and start writing!
