Youth getting creative about peace
Youth Peace Poetry Contest now open!
Every year, the WDRC hosts our annual Youth Peace Poetry Contest, which inspires youth to write creatively about peace. Youth ages 18 and younger who live in Whatcom County are encouraged to submit poems, songs, short stories, or any form of short creative writing peace on the theme of peace. Winners of the contest are featured in our Peace Builders Awards event and at a Village Books poetry reading event.
