Theme: Holidays and Special Events . . . Past and Present
Geoffrey Owens, from The Cosby Show, and RisingStar31 Productions have teamed up to launch our first Poetry-in-Motion Writing Contest, an initiative to showcase the literary works of talented writers. The theme is, “Holidays and Special Events, Past and Present.”
Geoffrey, a Shakespearean actor, instructor, and talented poet, has created an exciting new selection of poetry-filled, on-line greeting cards, and brings a wealth of experience to the venture. He will be the judge who selects the winning writer from the ten finalists.
We’re submitting the following information with hopes that you’ll include our contest in your directory.

The winner is awarded a $1,000 Prize and publication in our future RisingStar31 e-Magazine and Web site.
