The contest is open to any 1st-12th grade public, private or home-schooled student in the area. The contest aims to provide students with the opportunity to express themselves through writing, but also to learn about the art form of poetry and using language to its fullest potential.

Submissions for the 2024 Northeast Texas Poetry in Schools Contest will be accepted 2/1/2024 through 3/1/2024. A panel of judges consisting of local writers and artists will select three winning poems from each grade level. Each year the winning students read their work aloud to an audience of teachers, peers, friends and family at an awards ceremony at Region 7 ESC in Kilgore. Winning poems will be published in the annual Northeast Texas Poetry in Schools Anthology and each winning poet will receive a certificate of accomplishment.
