WORDS ON WHEELS winning poems now online!

WOW: Bloomington Transit and MATRIX put poems on the buses!

In early 2001 we held a poetry contest open to the Bloomington community. Winners were judged by a community panel including poets, educators, and other citizens. The winners enjoyed their poems published in the local busses of the Bloomington Transit! There were about 50 poems submitted in each age group,
and the judges all said they had a tough time choosing the best poems. Congrats to all the winners!

The winner's poems were published in a chapbook after their tour on the city buses.

Many thanks to the judges, Bloomington Transit and everyone envolved in the Words of Wheels Contest. We look foreward to more contests in the future! (hint hint, keep your eyes out for WOW to return this spring!)
