Teen Ink Poetry Contest

Are you inspired by Maya Angelou, E.E. Cummings or Dr. Seuss? Do you love writing haiku? Do verses just run through your head? Submit your work to Teen Ink. Of all the poems published each month in Teen Ink, up to three will be selected for special recognition.
Prizes


Winning poems are published in Teen Ink magazine and contest winners receive a copy of the magazine featuring their work. Plus, they’ll have the opportunity to choose from an exciting selection of Teen Ink merchandise – apparel and other items – available exclusively from Teen Ink.
