High school students will compete at their individual schools throughout this fall. Winners at the school level will compete at the state competition for a chance to represent Arkansas at the National Poetry Out Loud competition this spring. The National Champion wins $20,000!

Poetry Out Loud is made possible through the partnership of the National Endowment for the Arts, Poetry Foundation and Arkansas Arts Council.
