Last Weekend to Submit #VoiceYourVoice Poetry!

It’s the final weekend for #VoiceYourVerse poetry submissions to the first-ever She’s the First anthology — there are just five more days to submit! If you’re a high school or college student, don’t forget there’s an added bonus for you. When you submit your poem via Zinch.com, you’re in the running for your own $500 scholarship! (And Chegg for Good is matching that with $500 for Jancy in India!)

Whether you are a writer at heart or someone picking up the poetic pencil for the very first time, now is your chance to script your heart out, be published and support girls’ education globally–all at the same time.

Be sure to get your submission into our editors, @hannahkatyb, @azureantoinette & @oysterconcept, by February 29th (the day only comes around every four years!) for your chance to be published alongside pro poets and girls we sponsor around the world!

Need Inspiration?

Check out some of the sweet poetry we’ve already received from among the 1,000+ poems entered in Zinch’s Voice Your Verse poetry contest for She’s the First!

“If the world was my classroom how wide would it be;

Full of all the wonders one can explore and see

A girl you could teach all the morals of life;

How one can survive and a way to overcome strife.” — Vanessa De la Cruz

Or how about this one?

“If I could tell the girls

That they are valued beyond compare

Then I would let them know in a heartbeat” — Cathy Cacciatore

Ready? Set?…go for it!

    I am not a student, but I wrote a poem for girls anyway.

    Stand up. Ask questions. What is around you? Listen and look.
    Answers are found in many places, not just a book. Don;t be afraid to ask. Where? What? Why?
    What will you do? As you grow and learn you will be different people. You will learn new things. Change is one constant that life brings.
    The world does not yet know what you will be. Others will tell you what they think, but is up to you what to believe. With an open mind you will find that there are many choices and many voices. Listen to your heart and your intuition. Follow your passion and have compassion.
    The world is your classroom. Always learn. Even if you have to struggle even if you have to fight. Knowledge is your human right.
