TnJPoetry, Inc is a Nevada Non-Profit 501(C)3 Corporation that does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, nationality or ethnic origin, gender, religion, and/or disability.
TnJPoetry, Inc was founded by author, Timea Csonka Frye in 2004, as a website for individuals to post their poetry for free. She was not convinced that this was all she can provide for her fellow poets. As an author and a poet, Timea researched her surrounding community for a place where a young poet had the opportunity to be acknowledged. She found that a place such as this was non-existent. Timea's vision gave a new life to TnJPoetry, Inc in 2005. Now as a non-profit organization, with three members of the board, and several helpful volunteers, TnJPoetry, Inc is providing yearly poetry contest for all ages, with an inspirational and educational environment to those who are willing to share their thoughts. This competition allows nationwide communities, such as but not limited to; Religious Schools, Private Schools, Boys and Girls Clubs, Special Needs Schools/Classes/Communities, Special Olympics Community, Elderly or Veteran Communities to compete for TnJPoetry's trophies as a School, Class, Community or as Individuals.
In 2007 TnJPoetry, Inc has reached poets nation and worldwide!

Our Goals:
We are hoping to receive monetary donations to provide musical instruments to those who are enrolled in a music course and are in need of new instruments.
With your help we would also like to provide cash prizes to our winners to help them with their school supplies, tuitions and other needs.
Your donations will make our goals possible, such as keeping our curtains open for the year 2008. Unless we receive contribution, so we may help our poets with their traveling expenses, our upcoming contests will not be including an awards ceremony. Our poets and entertainers will no longer have the opportunity to perform during our awards ceremonies at the theater or be seen on television. With out your helping hand, our poets of the year 2008 will not be heard. Do you donate to other programs to benefit a child's future? Then why not do the same for TnJPoetry, Inc? We are here to provide a positive educational environment to children across the world. Together we can make a difference!
