A bicycle-theme poetry competition will be held in conjunction with the Bicycle and Poetry Show inaugurated by the Gargiulo Arts Foundation last July. This summer, the Flagler County Art League will co-sponsor the art and poetry event, to run July 13 to Aug. 3.
Both Hollingsworth Gallery and FCAL studio space will exhibit bicycle-theme art. In addition, winners of the bicycle-theme poetry competition will read their entries at FCAL during the opening reception, 7 p.m. on Saturday, July 13. (Judges will read aloud entries of those winners not able to be present.)
Copies of the poetry will also be on view in display books at both galleries.
FCAL’s Stephanie Salkin will chair the poetry portion of the event. Details are as follows:
*Entrants may send up to three bicycle-theme poems: one poem for $5, three poems for $10. Checks should be made out to FCAL.
*Poems (any form) can be no longer than one page and must be typed in 12-point type. Please include three copies of each poem: two without your own name, only one with your name.
*Two qualified judges (TBA) will choose first, second and third place winners, who will receive monetary prizes and certificates, and two honorable mentions, which will receive certificates only, if the judges deem two poems worthy of such merit.
*All poetry entries and fees should be mailed to Stephanie Salkin’s attention at: Flagler County Art League, P.O. Box 352772, Palm Coast FL 32135-2772.
*Entry forms will soon be available at www.flaglercountyartleague.com.
*In addition, a copy of each poem entered (including your name) must be emailed to Stephanie ([email protected]) for purposes of display printing.
*Deadline for receipt of poems and fees is June 30, 2013

In addition, there will be a bicycle-theme poetry slam at 8:30 p.m. during the evening of the opening, at City Repertory Theatre which is housed in the Hollingsworth Gallery.
