This year's Caldwell Poetry Award winners were announced at LSWA's annual End-of-Year Festival on April 13, 2022! Poems were judged by categories, which included both written and performance work that was also divided between first year students and student leaders/alumni. Thanks to a generous gift from Jeanne and Will M. Caldwell, the winning students received thousands of dollars in cash prizes. Additionally, all of the written poems that placed will be published in this year’s Arts & Literary Journal. Please join us in congratulating our talented students!
