| The West Virginia Division of Culture and History (WVDCH)
is pleased to continue its partnership with the National Endowment for the
Arts and the Poetry Foundation to present Poetry Out Loud National Recitation
Contest. This exciting contest encourages students to learn poetry through
memorization and performance. High school winners will be sent to Charleston,
WV to compete in the 2009 West Virginia Poetry Out Loud Final. The WVDCH
will cover lodging costs and reimburse travel costs for all participants
in the state final. The winner will receive $200, with $500 going to their
school for the purchase of poetry books. An additional $100 goes to the
runner-up, with $200 going to his or her school. The West Virginia State
Finalist will win an all-expense paid trip to Washington, D.C. to compete
for $50,000 in scholarships and school prizes.
