Regional and international poetry competition

Poetic writing is often an opportunity to adopt a quirky posture and to look at one's environment from a different perspective.

The theme of this new edition of the poetry contest "Words for our Earth", entitled "Infinitely Large, Infinitely Small: The Beauty of a World" proposed to participants to portray their relationship to the world and nature using the contrast born of the renc between the big and the small, between the rare and the abundant.

For the first time, 9- to 25-year-olds from all over the world were invited to compete, whether or not French is their native language, in an international version labelled COP22.

The jury selected 100 winners in the regional competition and 50 in the international competition. Congratulations to all of you!
