2025 Southern Shakespeare Company Sonnet Contest

Established in 2014, our annual Sonnet Contest inspires (and rewards) writers around the world. This year, we are accepting entries beginning March 15 through April 15 — just in time for National Poetry Month!
Join us on the evening of our Friday Shakespeare in the Park Festival performance at Cascades Park in Tallahassee, Florida to hear these winning words read for the audience prior to our FREE nightly performance of Henry IV, Part 1!
