Medway Youth Poet Laureate

Medway Youth Laureates
​
For Medway River Lit 2024 we were excited to launch the Medway Youth Laureate scheme with
Medway Libraries.​ Poets were asked to write a poem in response to the question: 'What's the weather like?' We had 3 age categories - 12-13, 14-15, 16-17.

Medway Youth Laureate 2024
We were delighted to host an award ceremony as part of Medway River Lit for the inaugural Medway Youth Laureate scheme. Anne-Marie was privileged to present certificates and prizes (a book token and book generously provided by Medway Council's Climate Response Team, plus books from publishers Crystal Peake and Wordsmithery,) to our first Laureates, Lydia (16-17), Indigo (14-15) and Jessica (12-13).
