December Updates: School Contest Dates, NEA Resources, and School Champion & Alternate Forms

Hello Coordinators,

I hope your December is going well and you can see the finish line of winter break on the horizon.

SCHOOL CONTEST DATES
If you have not already done so, please send me your school contest date as soon as possible. These dates will be posted on the Arts Council website so feel free to check out your neighbor's contest date/time or send your judges to watch another school's event as part of their preparation.

CONTEST ORGANIZATION RESOURCES
As you prepare for your school contests, be sure to explore these resources from the NEA on setting up your school event, tips for finding judges, and more:
  • Organizing a Contest - PR tips, staffing suggestions, certificates of participation, contest evaluation sheet, and a sample tally sheet
  • Judge Preparation - 2017-18 Judge's Guide, a webinar for judges, and a video with advice for judges from previous POL judges 
  • Download Graphics - POL, NEA, and Poetry Foundation logos in grayscale, color, and several file formats
CHAMPION & ALTERNATE INFORMATION FORMS
Lastly, as your school contests get underway - please complete this Student Information Form for your school champion and alternate. It's such a help to get these in as early as possible so we can begin putting poems together for the semi-finals. All forms need to be completed by February 9, 2018. Our first semi-final this year is February 15th!

Happy holidays, one and all!
