Find Your Voice Poetry Contest

Join Oceanside Public Library and Glassless Minds for a free live poetry contest on Saturday, July 15 from 5:00 to 7:00 p.m. at the Civic Center Library Courtyard at 330 N. Coast Highway. The Find Your Voice Poetry Contest is a one round, one poem poetry contest for adults that will offer 1^st, 2^nd and 3^rd place cash prizes. Sign up starts at 4:30 p.m. and there are 17 spots.
