Yecheilyah’s Annual Poetry Contest 2026

👋🏾Heyy Poets! 2026 is the year of the poet, and we are currently organizing Yecheilyah's Annual Poetry Contest, which I founded in 2017 to uplift poets and preserve diverse storytelling through poetry.

This year, we’re inviting a few community-aligned partners to support the contest through sponsorships.

If you're interested, we currently have 3 tiers available:

The Griot's Circle 🪶
The Scribe's Table ✍️🏾
The Laureate's Crown 👑

The descriptions of each level and the benefits associated with them are listed on the website, and you are the first to see them!

Please click on the link below to review them. This news will be released soon, but I wanted to notify this community first! 🙌🏾

The contest starts in April, and the date of the official kickoff, this year's theme, how YOU can participate, prize list, and more will be announced!

🎉Thank you so much, and we are excited about hearing YOUR voice in Season 8! 🎊
