Deadline Nearing for 'Lit Wit Humorous Poetry Contest'

Only nine days remain to enter the Tampa-Hillsborough County Public Libraries’ annual Lit Wit Humorous Poetry Contest. The contest invites adults age 18 and older to create a humorous poem, or a parody of a well-known poem, and then enter for a chance to win cash and passes to the Tampa Improv Comedy Club and Dinner Theater.

Entry forms are available at any Hillsborough County public library and online.

Participants must submit their completed entry forms and poems by March 31. Here's how:

• Via email to programming@hcplc.org
• By fax to 813-273-3634
• In person, at any Hillsborough County public library
• By mail to: Poetry Contest, Tampa-Hillsborough County Public Libraries, 900 N. Ashley Drive, Tampa, FL 33602
