2020 Meditation Poetry Contest Underway

Spirit First is pleased to announce its 11th Annual Meditation Poetry Contest. Some of you might have thought we disappeared over the past year, but we are here! I apologize for our long silence. Our timetable is adjusted this year, and you still have time to participate--all of our judges are excited to start reading your entries. Due to a glitch in our system, some of you missed getting a copy of last year's winning entries, so we have attached the announcement of last year's winners here: 2019 Winning Poems This is a free contest, but we welcome donations of any amount that contribute to our expenses. You can donate through PayPal by sending to meditate@SpiritFirst.org. Thank you! If you are a poet, we look forward to hearing from you! Here are all the details: 2020 GUIDELINES Poetry submissions may be of any length and any style but must have a theme of Meditation or Mindfulness.
