In Flight Kids Poetry Contest

Central Valley poets Christina Davis and Kenya Mitchell are pleased to announce the inaugural In Flight Kids’ Poetry Contest.

The In Flight Kids’ Poetry Contest was created to showcase the literary talents of Central Valley youth while encouraging childhood literacy development through fun, engaging extracurricular activity. There are three competitive categories; ages 9-12, 13-15 and 16-18. In each category there will be gift certificate prizes of $50, $25 and $10 for the first, second and third place winners.  Submissions will be accepted via email at inflightpoetry@gmail.com until March 22. 

The In Flight Kids’ Poetry Contest is the brainchild of Christina Davis, an accomplished poetess and Stockton local who has published two collections, Raven’s Brew and In The Face of Indigo, to positive reviews.  Ms. Davis’ work can be found at www.ravens-brew.com.  To make this contest a success, Ms. Davis partnered with Kenya Mitchell, author of the acclaimed poetry collection Blue Line to Wonderland and the forthcoming young adult game book, Warrior of Mande.  Links to Ms. Mitchell’s other publications are available at www.kenyamitchell.com

Both poetesses are proud to positively contribute to California's Central Valley community with this event and look forward to continuing this programming in years to come.  To contact either Ms. Davis or Ms. Mitchell for more information, please email them at inflightpoetry@gmail.com.
