All residents of the DFW area are now invited to contribute their own original poems inspired by any of the Thanks-Giving Foundation’s 40 virtues.
Poem submissions can be emailed to: tgs@thanksgiving.org. Please be sure to include the poet’s name and contact information.
In addition, any poems celebrating the remaining 23 virtues listed here, which have not yet been commissioned, will be entered into contest consideration to represent that virtue. The Thanks-Giving Foundation will select finalist poems for each unspoken-for virtue, and Mag Gabbert, Dallas’ second Poet Laureate, will serve as the final judge. Selected poems will be displayed via a QR code in the Square alongside poems by the project’s original contributors, and the author of each selected piece will receive a $100 honorarium. Any work received by May 1, 2025 will be eligible for consideration.
All family friendly poems we receive that celebrate one of the 40 listed virtues will be added to the Thanks-Giving Foundation’s online archive of submitted work. DOWNLOAD/PRINT DETAILS
