Over 600 South Carolina students sent in original work for the SC State Library's "Young Minds Dreaming" Poetry Contest. The poetry contest was organized as part of this year's May Hill Arbuthnot Lecture events. South Carolina students in grades 3-12 were invited to submit poems relating stories of a person, place, or an experience that made a mark on student's lives to a panel of nine judges. "The State Library was thrilled at the response to the poetry contest," said Deputy Director Denise Lyons, who oversees the Arbuthnot Lecture planning. "It became clear that there is both interest and enthusiasm by many at all levels to celebrate poetry in a significant way across the state. We are grateful for all the support, participation, and assistance we have received during this contest. Our hope is that we will be able to continue the Young Minds Dreaming contest in some way even after the Arbuthnot events have ended." To view the list of winners visit scetv.org.
