Yecheilyah’s 6th Annual Poetry Contest 2023: Rules, Guidelines, and Prizes


Calling All Poets!!

When it comes to the arts, poetry is my first love, and this contest is my way of giving back to the poetry community to shed light on the power of the spoken and written word and the artists who love it.

It is not just a contest but a movement to discover and elevate those who have always desired to pursue their artistic ambitions in poetry but have been either discouraged from doing so or have allowed fear to hold them back.

If you’ve been looking for a sign to get back to your creative writing endeavors, this is it!
