Every year, Brock’s UNESCO Chair on Community Sustainability hosts a poetry contest that is open to the entire Niagara community: https://brocku.ca/unesco-chair/sustainability-poetry-contest/

 

The two themes this year are: “International Year of Peace and Trust” and “International Year of Glaciers’ Preservation,” which relate to the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

 

The contest is open to everyone in Niagara and the deadline to enter is February 14, 2025. Submissions are accepted in English, French, and Indigenous languages. There will be prizes for the winners and all poets can have their poems featured in an electronic publication. 

Past winners can also be found by clicking on the link above.
