There were more than 5,000 entries in the competition this year. The winners from Bachman Academy are: Alex Nangle-Ward and Travis Thornton in the High School Prose division, and Ben Feingold and Travis Thornton in the High School Poetry category.

“Summer Symphony” by Ben Feingold
Summer Symphony
by Ben Feingold
Trees dance in the wind
Their theater is a sea of green
Where insects sit and hear
The symphonic sounds
Of a summer day
The stage is lit with sunshine
The clouds are curtains drawn
Birds enter the balcony
And add their song
Lights dim, limbs take their bows
One show ends
As a new symphony begins
