Get out your cell phone, get creative and produce a videopoem!

What’s a videopoem?  It’s art that’s about expressing yourself by mixing video and poetry together.

Videopoems can be made many different ways. You can do all of it: write the poem and make the video.  Or, you can work together with friends in your age group.  Maybe you and your friends write the poem together and another person makes the video.  It doesn’t matter how many people make the videopoem as long as everyone is in the same age group (either 18-15, or 14-11, or under 11.)

Submit your videopoem on FilmFreeway (it’s free), and you could see your work screened as part of an exciting international poetry film festival!
