April is World Autism Month and National Poetry Month. In honor of both, SymbolSpeak is hosting a poetry contest. Do you know an autistic poet? Have you written poetry about autism? Whether in prose or verse, text or symbol, we want your poems! Contest winners will have their poems reshared along with a grand prize for the top selection.
The rules are as follows:
Poems composed about or from the experience of autism may be submitted by tagging us on social media or via the submission form. All submissions must be received on or by April 30th and must include proper attribution. Results will be announced on May 1st through social media where credit will be given to all winners with a free SymbolSpeak t-shirt to be awarded to the grand prize winner.
