prize will be awarded for each of the categories in the amounts of US $50
(students), $100 (college age), and $250 (adult).
Each poem submitted for the competition must be accompanied by the author's
full name, age, home address/telephone number, school name, and sponsoring
teacher's telephone number. Those in the college age category need not
