Sidewalk Poetry Contest – courtesy of the Zionsville Cultural District:
The Zionsville Cultural Board, in support of April’s poetry month, has decided to continue with conducting our annual sidewalk poetry contest targeted towards our youth.  This is a free contest and open to all youth age 17 and under.  Winners will be chosen over the summer and have their poems imprinted in a local sidewalk in our gorgeous town.  Please consider asking a youth that you know to visit the below link and participate. This is a great way for youth to express their feelings, capture the moments during this unprecedented time in our community.  It is free, six lines, and a way to document our history.  Please visit https://www.zvillecd.org  and click “enter contest”
