| The
Elizabeth Graeme Fergusson Award in Formal Poetry will be
a yearly award of $250 to a High School School Student (grades
9-12) from Montgomery, Bucks, Chester, Delaware, or Philadelphia
counties who has submitted the best example of a poem written
in any form. The award will be given at the annual Montgomery
County Poet Laureate (MCPL) Awards Ceremony at Musehouse:
A Center for the Literary Arts in April 2012 (date and time
tbd).
The
award will be presented by The Friends of Graeme Park, which
is the historic home of Elizabeth Graeme Fergusson. Student
award recipients and participants in the Poetry Awards event
will enjoy a year's membership for non-reserved Graeme Park
programs. Graeme Park is one of the foremost examples of
Georgian interior decoration in the United States of America,
and offers an excellent opportunity to think across the
disciplines of poetry and architecture, and to relate the
visual to the verbal aspects of Elizabeth Graeme Fergusson's
-and our own-aesthetics.
