Celebrate Poetry!
The Annual Poem-A-Day Challenge Compilation
Brought to you by White Fields Press and the PWE Writing Community
Every year, in honor of National Poetry Month in April, White Fields Press and the PWE Writing Community hosts a poem-a-day challenge. The challenge is free and open to the public. Content submitted should be appropriate for young, Christian readers. Children are encouraged to participate (with parental consent). Submissions to the challenge are considered for publication in the annual compilations.
The poetry challenges hosted by White Fields Press and the PWE Writing Community are always free to the participants.
Entries into the challenges are considered for publication in the corresponding Celebrate Poetry! Inclusion in this publication is free to participants and they receive a complimentary copy of the book at no cost to them. We want this challenge to remain open to writers of all ages and all socioeconomic statuses.
Sponsorships are offered to organizations and individuals who share our values and believe in promoting glorification of God through creative writing. Funds obtained through sponsorships are used solely for the purpose of keeping this challenge free to participants.
We offer multiple packages to fit any budget.
FUN FACTS:
Writing gives children a way to share their voices and ideas with the world. Even in early childhood, the purpose of writing is to communicate. All young children have messages to share, and writing is one tool they can use to communicate those messages.
Holding a pencil to paper unquestionably unlocks creativity that technology simply does not allow for. Pencil to paper allows children to be imaginative, artistic and free with their thoughts.
Writing has long been hailed as a deeply therapeutic practice. In fact, all the arts have therapeutic benefits. But poetry imparts a broad range of emotional and intellectual benefits that are useful to personal growth, whether we’re working on self-improvement, emotional or psychological coping and healing, developing relationships, and even furthering our careers — including careers outside of the writing field.
Poetry, as a healing tool applicable and accessible to anyone, can have a concrete impact in all areas of medicine, specifically in providing innovative methods for healing to occur individually and holistically.
His ways are higher than ours– therefore we can’t even fathom what He can or will do in our lives. I think that is one reason why it is easy to glorify God.
