Submission Criteria

1. Compose and submit a typed, original work of poetry (in Microsoft Word or compatible format, or accessible online).
2. In addition to the text submission, submit a digital audio version (mp3 file or accessible online) of your poem.
3. The audio version cannot exceed 3 minutes. For anything published on the web, please only include your first name and last initial.
4. Your digital project could include images or video or something else we haven’t thought of. It could be created using something like Photo Story, VoiceThread, Movie Maker, iMovie, etc., but it must include audio of your poem. Be creative in communicating the meaning of your poem. Have fun. You can record audio for free with only a telephone, as a podcast at http://www.gcast.com/.
5. Once you have completed the written and audio versions of your poem, submit them to Mr. Belanger, room 320—or digitally via email: belangei@highlands.k12.fl.us

• WRITTEN PORTION:
  If the text of your poem is in Microsoft Word or compatible format, title the document with your name before you submit it. If the text of your poem is online (in a blog, a wiki, a Google Doc, etc.), type the URL (make sure it’s accessible to everyone) in a Word document, title the Word document with your name, and submit that. In either case, at the bottom of the text document indicate what form your digital project is in and how you are submitting it (e.g., mp3 that you’re burning to CD; video on YouTube; GCast url, etc.)

• Audio/Digital Project of Your Poem:
  If the audio/digital project of your poem is an mp3 or other digital file that is not online, title the file with your name. If the audio/digital project of your poem is online, type the URL in the text document as described in part “a” above.
