Voices in Verse: Student Poetry Contest Winners

In 500 words or fewer, we asked you to write a poem that inspires joy, awe, or inspiration for the little things in life—and you truly delivered! With over 80 incredible submissions, choosing just four winners was no easy task.

On Tuesday, April 15, we hosted a reception in the New Westminster Campus foyer, where students had the chance to share their poems aloud with an engaged audience. The event also offered a wonderful opportunity to connect with fellow poets and our panel of judges.

We’re excited to publish the winners of our very first Student Poetry Contest:
 

First prize

Logan Brown

"Go Talk to Some Rocks"

Second prize
