Poetry Society of South Carolina
The Poetry Society of South Carolina organizes student contests you can enter between January 15 and February 15 each year, with winners announced in April or May.
The Sandy Eubank prize is $100 (any poetry style, any topic) and Peter Pan is $50 (childhood memory). These are the ones I have found to be the best match for most student poetry.
If you stay interested in poetry into high school, the Skylark prize is the most competitive with a $500 award.
The fee is $5 per entry (which I pay for students when they create work for ALERT).
