Our poetry slam stands out, providing a platform for students ranging from third to twelfth grade to showcase their talents. It’s a competitive yet supportive event where participants are evaluated on both their writing and performance skills, presenting their own original poetry. Participants have the opportunity to compete individually and as part of a team, doubling their chances of success. Every participant receives acknowledgment, and top performers in each category are awarded a cash prize for their outstanding achievements.
It is divided into three distinct categories:
- Elementary (3rd-5th)
- Middle school (6th-8th)
- High school (9th-12th)
