WKU Public Radio in Bowling Green, KY is partnering with a local law firm to offer cash prizes for poetry written in response to classical music.  The contest is for high school students, who listen and choose from one of two pieces, Ravel’s Daphnis and Chloe, or Vivaldi’s Mandolin Concerto.  They then write and submit their poems.  The top two winners get $500 and $200 respectively in savings bonds.  A nice way to celebrate National Poetry Month.  Read more here.
