**Polar Expressions Publishing has a poetry contest and a short story contest. We are entering the fall poetry contest, and possibly the short story contest as well. The fall poetry contest deadline is November 28th.** **See their website at** **[|Polar Expressions]**


 * The Poetry Institute of Canada's Young Writers Poetry Contest takes place in the fall, and we will be entering it. The deadline is November 21st. This poem must be 21 lines or less, and we're writing poems based on Judith Viorst's If I Were in Charge of the World. Their website is at [|Poetry Institute of Canada]**


 * Creative Communication has poetry and essay contests. We will also enter this poetry contest! Their website is at [|Poetic Power]**


 * That's a lot of poetry this fall, but we are up to the task!**

**We always enter the Vancouver Cherry Blossom Festival Haiku contest.This contest takes place in the spring, when the cherry trees are in bloom. In the past few years, one of our students won first prize in the Youth Division, and another was one of the runners up. This is a huge honour, as young poets from all over the world submitted their haiku to this contest.** ** Their website is at [|Cherry Blossom Festival]+**


 * We will also enter the Vancouver Youth Theatre story writing contest. This one is a challenge as the story can only be about 250 words. It is tricky to create a contest-winning story in so few words.**
