The North American Review has launched the Cedar Valley Youth Poet Laureate program! Based on the National Youth Poet Laureate Program, we are celebrating local young poets in our 2024 Commencement event, where the 2024 Cedar Valley Youth Poet Laureate will be chosen by a panel of judges on April 20th 3pm-5pm. 

The goal is to identify and celebrate exceptional young poets who use their voice to inspire change. We believe that young people are capable of creating important works of art, and deserve a venue to both develop and share these works with the world. Please invite and encourage interested students to submit up to three poems for consideration. There is no cost to submit, but they will be required to set up a free account on Submittable.  The deadline to submit poems for consideration is Monday, April 1. 

Should you have any questions, please email nar@uni.edu or call 319-273-6455.
