The Academy of American Poets invites students living in the United States, U.S. Territories, or Tribal Nations who are in grades 9 through 12 to enter artwork to be considered for the National Poetry Month poster in 2022. The winner will be selected by co-judges Rafael López, New York Times-bestselling illustrator and artist, and Nikki Grimes, New York Times-bestselling author and poet. The winning student’s artwork will be featured on the official National Poetry Month poster in 2022, which will be distributed to classrooms, libraries, bookstores, community centers, families, and individuals nationwide in time for the April celebration.
