APPLETON, WI (WTAQ) – The city of Appleton is once again collecting submissions for its Sidewalk Poetry Program.
The program stamps original works by city residents and schoolchildren into squares of concrete. They’re then placed into sections of sidewalk that were already scheduled for replacement.
It’s open to anyone who lives in Appleton or attends an Appleton Area School District school.
A poem may be previously published, but it must be an original work of the person submitting. The subject matter must be appropriate for the general public, must be in English, and fit within a maximum of 10 lines, 35 characters per line and 225 characters overall, including spaces.
To submit a poem, email it by Feb. 17, 2017, to paula.vandehey@appleton.org. The final selections will be announced in March.
