"I'm hoping the prize might set off a spark in a kid and get him turned on about poetry, the way it did for me."

Tom Nattell Peace Poetry Prize will be awarded annually to an Albany High School student for a poem that fosters the sense of social responsibility, as Tom's work does. The fund is managed by the Community Foundation for the Capital Region (see their website: www.cfcr.org). Checks may be made out to Community Foundation, with "Tom Nattell Peace Poetry Prize" in the memo line and mailed to:
