Some examples of acceptable subject matter are: mountain scenery, wildlife, people or sports.
Jurors will judge the competition through a blind jury process. Prizes will be awarded to the winning poem in each category. The top two winning poems will also be printed in the DMCF booklet. The top two winning poems will also be printed in the DMCF booklet and published on the RCAC/Dahl website and Facebook page.
