2026 Awards Ceremony
Over 150 young poets, parents, and teachers gathered in Newton Free Library on October 17, 2026 to celebrate this year’s winners. We had over 800 submissions this year from 100+ schools in all six New England states.
Congratulations to all our student winners, Teachers of the Year, and Schools of the Year!
Special thank-you to our hard-working judges and our partners — Newtonville Books, Newton Centre UPS, and Newton Library.
Looking forward to reading the next round of submissions. See you in 2027!
