Austin Public Schools has released the finalists of this year Eberhart Poetry Contest.

Because of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the annual Night of Poetry will once again be held virtually with finalists reading their poems as well as identifying someone who inspires them to write. This will be on the Austin Public Schools website on Tuesday, April 20.

School winners will be announced at the end of the video, with certificates and awards being delivered to the finalists April 21-23.
