Poetry Entries
If you are submitting poetry, you can upload up to five poems through this form. If you have 6 or more poems, you will need to complete and submit an additional Student Online Entry Form.
Art Entries
All art entries must be mailed. If you are submitting art, print out your email confirmation and glue or tape the first page to the back of your art piece. Include the second page of this email confirmation in the envelope to be mailed with your submission as well.
If you are submitting both art and poetry, please write "Poetry Submitted Online" as well as the confirmation number of your poetry submission at the top of your mailed art entry form.
Parental Guardian's Permission Required
Students 17 years old or younger must have permission from your parental guardian before participating in River of Words as an individual or as part of a group. No exceptions.
Upon submission, the student and the student's legal guardian - and the student's group facilitator if applicable - will receive an email confirmation with a confirmation number within the hour. If you do not receive this confirmation email, contact rowinfo@stmarys-ca.edu.
In the event that a student entry is selected to be a finalist or grand prize winner, your parent or legal guardian will need to sign a form allowing us to print your poem in our annual anthology, on our website, or in other publications.
