The deadline is coming up soon. Enter the Ortonville CreekFest Poetry Contest, extended deadline can be no later than May 12. CreekFest (a Green Arts Program supported by the Center for Applied Environmental Research at University of Michigan-Flint) is a festival celebrating Michigan waterways and promoting their conservation. Thematic content in poems is recommended but not required. The festival will take place in Ortonville on June 6 and winning poets will read their work. Money prizes will be awarded in two categories (children and adults), judged by poets Margo LaGattuta and Jay Clark.
