position for the next two years, we'd love to have you submit a nomination for the
2025-2027 term.
To make a nomination, visit our website to learn more about the history and purpose
of Montana's Poet Laureate program, review submission guidelines, and fill out the
nomination form. And please share this email with others who may know the perfect
candidate to represent Montana's rich legacy of the written and spoken word as our
next poet laureate. The deadline for nominations is Monday, June 30, 2025.
Make your nomination!
