We thank all the poets, NAMI NJ friends and families
for getting those amazing poems to us for the 2020 NAMI NJ Dara Axelrod Expressive Arts Mental Health Poetry Contest! This year's theme is "battling our challenges with superpowers."
We received many worthy entries. After many rounds of careful reading, the Top Ten Poems are finally selected. The judging criteria consisted of:
- Using the theme of mental health
- The way the subject matter was handled
- Originality
- Style
NAMI NJ members and friends are now called on to vote online and help us pick the Top Three Poems.
Support our poets and cast your vote by
Sunday, May 31, 2020.
All poems entered into the contest will be showcased on NAMI NJ's Poetry Corner webpage in the coming months. Thank you for your participation. Enjoy the poems!
