2017 Winners of The Robert Frost Poetry Contest for Children and Teens
The Studios of Key West is pleased to announce the 2017 winners of the Robert Frost Poetry Contest for Children and Teens. Students were recognized at a special ceremony and poetry reading in early June at The Studios of Key West. Merit awards, certificates, and prizes were presented to the winners.
Robert Frost (1874-1963) won four Pulitzer Prizes for his poetry, and wintered for many years at the garden cottage of the Heritage House. Through funds established by the Jeane and Jessie Porter Fund at the Community Foundation of the Florida Keys, the contest for children and teenagers was created in his honor, and nurtures and develops the interest of budding poets.
