Heritage in Poetry : the poetry competition on the heritage of the Ile-de-France region

Do you like to write and are you between 8 and 12 years old ? From September 21, 2024 to December 13, 2024, you can give free rein to your imagination by composing a poem on the theme of the Ile-de-France heritage. The RATP, which has been a transmitter of poems for years, is proud to be a partner of this competition, organised by the Region and the Drac Île-de-France.

From September 21, 2024 to December 13, 2024, young people aged 8 to 12 are invited to participate in Patrimoines en poésie, by telling in a poetic way and with maximum creativity the heritage they prefer in Île-de-France. Many exceptional prizes will be awarded to the winners of this competition : museum tickets, culture vouchers, subscriptions to the competition's partner magazines, etc.

How does it work ?
The children write a poem to tell or describe the monument or work they like best in Île-de-France.
It's up to them to find their style and take care of the presentation to be among the winners !
In verse or prose, originality is the most important thing, in the choice of heritage as well as in the realization. In other words, budding poets must let their creativity and imagination speak !
 

  • There are many possible subjects to choose from, including monuments, natural heritage, transportation, rivers, industry, gastronomy, music, literature, art and much so more.

  • Artistic flair is welcome! The jury will pay particular attention to the originality of the work and the care taken in its execution. The poem can therefore be illustrated using drawing, painting, music, sculpture or video !
