2019 Earth Day Poetry Contest Winners
Kiran and Zahra
Despite school closures from COVID-19, the 2020 Earth Day Poetry Contest was a big success, with over 300 entries from students throughout Tucson and beyond! See the winners list and read their poems!
Each student who entered wrote a poem about the Sonoran Desert — how this place is their home, or animals, plants, the landscape, observations, feelings, hopes — whatever is important to that student.
Entries were judged on originality and content by a panel of Desert Museum and UA Poetry Center judges. The first place winner from each grade wins a 2020 membership to the Coati Kids' Club!
In normal years, one overall winner from grades K-3 and one from grades 4-6 receives a FREE Desert Museum live animal outreach program to their school. This year, a free online program was offered to all participating schools and students that featured several winners' poems and readings from three first place winners from this year's contest. Watch it here!
