Congratulations to our four winners of the Pop Up Color Contest who found the light in dark December!

Congratulations to our Autumn '24 Writing and Art Contest winners! The contest sparked a remarkable 190 responses to the challenge to "convey the ephemeral beauty of fall in the literary genre or visual art medium of your choice." 

Post-election, the YWP community responds in writing, art, and support for each other. 

Congratulations to our 75 published writers and artists! 

Congratulations to YWP's Evvi Tower-Pierce, 17, of East Burke, VT, whose illustration "Womane, Mother" was selected to illustrate a poem by Vermont Youth Poet Laureate Harmony Devoe on a commemorative broadside print.
