Submissions for the 2022 Vision+Voice Poetry Contest are Open!
Vision+Voice is an annual poetry contest for K-12 students in the Austin Community College service area. Launched in 2013, Vision+Voice was established by ACC to provide multiple venues for young people to become published poets, and give students greater access to share their work with authentic audiences. Students are free to determine the topic and type of poem to submit.
- Submit poems at: k12.visionandvoice.org
- Poems of all languages are welcome
- Winning poems are selected by a panel of judges consisting of ACC Creative Writing students, faculty, and published poets.
___________
Finding your voice is one of the most vital and transformative moments in a person’s life. The art and poetry in these pages reflect those instances when, perhaps for the first time, young writers and artists reach inside themselves and pull out who they truly are and what they want to say to the world. Vision+Voice crystallizes and celebrates these breakthroughs and shares them with the community. I can’t think of a more powerful experience for both the artists and the audience.
