Announcing the ‘Favorite Fictional Character in Literature Poetry Contest’ Winners

This year’s poetry contest was quite a success! The theme was “Favorite Fictional Character in Literature,” and we received more than 400 poems from students in grades K–12 that demonstrate their poetic genius and creativity.

You can view our online collection of participants and see the fantastic submissions we received this year.

If you submitted a poem, you can download your certificate of participation, print it, personalize it by filling in your poet’s name, and pin it somewhere in your home to encourage more writing.
