The
Annual Bob Schulze Poetry Contest
Bob Schulze was a long-time summer resident of
the area north of Harbor Springs who loved the
woods and the beach, and loved to write poetry.
As a boy in Springfield, Illinois, Bob won a writing
prize that sparked his lifetime interest in writing.
The Schulze family decided to use funds given
for Bobs memorial to start a poetry prize
open to youngsters of middle school age, whether
in the local Emmet County schools, home school
or summer visitors. The grand prize for the winning
entry is $100. In addition, there are prizes for
winning entries from each participating middle
school and from the Emmet County libraries. An
advisory committee made up of members selected
by the Schulze family will choose the winning
entries.
The deadline for entries in the Ninth
Annual Bob Schulze Poetry Contest will be sometime
in November 2008.
Here are the results from the Eighth Annual Bob
Schulze Poetry Contest. We received 110
poems in November, 2007 from six Emmet County
middle schools. Every student who entered
the contest should be contratulated for their
effort!!
