Join The Phoenix Poetry Chapbook Challenge!
2025 Encore
January 27th-Feb 6th, 2025
Local Gems is very excited for our first challenge of 2025!!
These last few years have been tough ones...
But you know the old saying, "when the going gets tough, the tough get going..."
And poets are tough!
So we want to invite you to join us in starting 2025 with a chance to rise from the ashes like a Phoenix and complete a challenge, with a chance to show the world the results!
Can you write 15 poems in 10 days? A chapbook?
We challenge you!
This challenge was exceedingly popular the last three years, and so much great writing came from it.
We expect no less this year!!
New Videos!!
If you have taken this challenge before, fret not, you can take it again because this year will be including a number of new videos you haven't seen before!
