According to the Santa Clara County Library press release, three local teens recently won the
prestigious Voice of Youth Advocates (VOYA) teen poetry contest: http://www.voyamagazine.com/tags/teen-poetry-contest/.
This 2014 national contest attracted more than 140 entries submitted by
teens from around the United States. Poetry topics were as diverse as
the teens and the geographical areas they represented.
Three of the five winners chosen by VOYA were endorsed and sponsored by
the Santa Clara County Library District: Angela L., age 14 and Ashley
C., age 16, Saratoga Library; and Ariel B., age 17 Milpitas Library.
Their winning poems are provided at this link.
Congratulations to these young and promising voices.
