ÁùºÏ±¦µä

The Vision + Voice Poetry Contest began in 2014 to provide ÁùºÏ±¦µä students an opportunity to engage in creative writing. The poetry competition is for students in grades K-12. Poems in any language were accepted.

All submitted poems are published online via Voiceprint, . One winning poem was selected per grade level by a panel of published poets. Winning poems are combined with artwork created by an ACC student and made into posters for display around ÁùºÏ±¦µä and the city of ÁùºÏ±¦µä.

A celebration reception for Vision + Voice participants and supporters will be held later in the year.
