The Proud Poet Challenge

(Press Play)

Welcome to the Proud Poet Challenge! The Poet Life believes that poetry is a powerful and transformative art form that has the ability to change the world. We also believe that poets should be proud of their craft and the impact it has on society.

That's why we're inviting poets from all around the world like yourself to join us in recording a video affirming that you are a proud poet and sharing why poetry is important to you. Whether you're a seasoned poet or just starting out, we want to hear from you!

To participate,

  • SUBMIT A POET explaining why you’re proud to be a poet and what it means to be a Proud Poet.

  • Poet your video on Instagram, Facebook, and/or TikTok, tagging the @ThePoetLife and adding us as a Collaborator on Instagram. Spread the love!

  • Be sure to incorporate the term “Proud Poet” in your submission and use #ProudPoetChallenge, #ProudPoet, and #PoetLife.

  • Submit the original video file HERE, including your name and social media handles.

Your video will inspire others to embrace their own poetic voice and celebrate the diversity of the poetry community.

Join us in spreading the joy of poetry and celebrating the power of our voices. Together, we can build a more inclusive and supportive world for all proud poets.

Wear Your Pride!
