The Edison Arts Society's Literature Committee will sponsor its annual Poetry Contest for middle and high school students in the local Edison area. One poem from each grade level (6 through 12) and runner ups will be chosen and placed into a booklet form for display at the Arts Society and in the school libraries. Winners from grade 11 and 12 will also be considered for publication in EAS's annual Edison Literary Review magazine.
