1st Secondary School Poetry Competition '12
In an effort to continue with the promotion and expansion of poetry, we are initiating a Secondary School’s Poetry Competition. This will be piloted in the Erongo Region and will only target secondary schools in Swakopmund, Walvis Bay, Henties Bay and Arandis. The selection is dictated by the geographical proximity of the four towns. The Erongo Regional Directorate of Education is in full support of the project as enthusiastic as the organisers of Township Productions..
The project is funded by the National Arts Council of Namibia and will be launched on the 12th of March 2012 at the Swakop Secondary School at 10h00. At the launch the guidelines of the poetry competition will be announced and each of the participating Schools will then invite their learners to submit poems for the competition.
There are cash prizes to be won at the end of the competition. On the 28th of April, the winners of the competition will be announced and cash prizes handed over to the learners who win. The school of the winning learner will also receive a cash prize.
