 NE OF THE EARLIEST annual activities of CFCP, dating to 1940 at the Glendale YWCA, the Convention held each spring has become a major unifying event bringing together members and interested friends from throughout the state. For many years, the Convention was held on Memorial Weekend, but for the past few years it has been held a few weeks earlier, in an effort to link it to National Poetry Month, which occurs in April.
The traditional two-and-a-half-day Convention offered a combination of lectures and workshops on various aspects of poetry, and features awards ceremonies for the winning poems in both the Student Contest, open to students in grades 7 - 12 throughout California, and the "regular" Annual Contest, open to all adults. The Convention concluded with a banquet and the awarding of the Golden Pegasus trophy for the poem judged to have been the most outstanding entry in the contest.
