The Poetry Society of Virginia was formed in 1923 to celebrate the writing and reading of poetry throughout Virginia, as well as nationally and internationally. Student poets are awarded a certificate and monetary prizes of $25, $15, and $10 for first, second, and third places respectively. Congratulations to the talented young writers!
