The Hebrew Poetry Quiz for Young People, now in its second year, is a proficiency test of Hebrew poetry for young people from all over the country.

Competitors will receive a reading list of poems from twenty Hebrew poets they must recite by heart. The winners in the first three places will receive monetary prizes and a set of poetry collections.
