Our poetry slam is unique because it offers opportunities for third through twelfth-graders to participate. It is an adjudicated event where participants are judged on their abilities to write and perform their original poetry. There are three categories: elementary (3rd– 5th), middle school (6th – 8th), and high school (9th – 12th). Poets may also present an individual and team poetry performance. All participants are recognized, and first-place winners in each category receive a cash prize.
