Cowichan Foundation selects poetry contest winners

Rubriques :

Three young poets were celebrated earlier for their submissions to the Micheal Coleman Poetry and Spoken Word Competition. It's the third year running for the annual competition inspired by Micheal Coleman, founder of the Cowichan Foundation and avid poet. Students submitted an original poem or spoken word piece, a video performing the work, and a short biography. In total $8500 was on the table for the top three winners.
