A $1,000 grand prize is being offered in a special religious poetry contest sponsored by the New Jersey Rainbow Poets, free to anyone who has ever written a poem.
There are more than 40 prizes in all, totaling more than $4,000. The deadline for entering is Jan. 22.
To enter, send one poem only of 21 lines or less to: Free Poetry Contest, 103 N. Wood Ave., PMB 70, Linden, N.J., 07036. Or enter online at www.rainbowpo-ets.com.
“We think great religious poems can inspire achievement,” said Frederick Young, the organization’s contest director. “Our desire is to inspire amateur poets, and we think this competition will accomplish that. California has produced many wonderful poets over the years, and we’d like to discover new ones from the Santa Monica area.” Elks give gift of golf
