Each year, Nevada Humanities invites Clark County high school students to present three original poems to be judged by a panel of poets, authors, educators, and other community members at the Las Vegas Book Festival. The top three students are selected as first, second, and third-place winners.

For information on participating in the Spark! Youth Poetry Competition, visit nevadahumanities.org/spark. The deadline to register is October 1, 2023.

This is a program of Nevada Humanities with support from the Nevada Arts Council.
