The Academy of American Poets currently has a Free Verse Project and contest: you take lines from your favorite poems, write them somewhere (i.e. in sidewalk chalk, sand at the beach, twigs on the ground) and submit a photo of it via email, Facebook, or Flickr, by April 15. Three winners receive a Jeanine Payer cuff* (jewelry with poetry engraved on it), and a copy of the Poem in Your Pocket anthology. Even if you think the prizes are lame, it would be fun to enter, tossing in some images with Oppen poetry alongside everyone else's Shakespeare and Rilke quotes.
*I honestly like Strix Werks better.
