2020 in poetry gardens throughout the town, and a book of the poems will be published for limited distribution.
Entrants are required to reside within the county. There is no entry fee. Winners in adult and student divisions will be determined by past Washington State Poet Laureate and
Seattle Civic Poet, Claudia Castro Luna.
Entries should be mailed to Poetry Garden Contest c/o Town of Friday Harbor, PO Box 219, Friday Harbor, WA 98250 or delivered to Town Hall at 60 Second Street by October 31,
2022..
The Town of Friday Harbor and its Friday Harbor Arts Commission (FHAC) are partnering with a committee of local citizens for the second time to bring this contest and poetry
installation to the community. The Town and FHAC appreciate the continued support of poetry garden site owners San Juan Community Theatre, Mullis Community Senior Center,
the Port of Friday Harbor, and the US Post Office. Copies of the book of 2020 Poetry Garden Contest winners are available at Town Hall.
