Imagine! is the thought-provoking poetry contest that gives your students the opportunity to explore and tackle issues, self-reflect or write about something they are passionate about.

A simple thought can spark so much creativity as different perspectives, opinions and beliefs influences your students' poetry, bringing to life the diversity and cultures of society in a safe and respectful way.

Use the optional poetry prompts we've provided to help generate ideas and inspire your students' poetry writing!
