Poetry Contest – 2025

All Poets Welcome

From April 1st to 30th, poets of all ages in the Westfield community were invited to submit their poems to our annual Poetry Contest. Submissions were split into two groups: youth (ages 0-17) and adult (ages 18 and older.) The winners were judged by a panel of Westfield librarians, and participants enjoyed a Reading Celebration of their poems on May 22nd!

You can read the collected poems here.

Many thanks to the Friends of the Westfield Athenaeum for sponsoring this event!
