Get ready to be inspired by the next generation of Australian poetry.
Hosted by acclaimed poet and educator Emilie Zoey Baker, OutLoud Slam is a vibrant celebration of young voices and original storytelling.
Think of it as the Eisteddfod of English class – a high-energy, heart-filled showcase where school teams perform three original poems, created individually or collaboratively, across two divisions: Years 7–9 and Years 10–12.
With special guest judges, surprise performances and fantastic prizes, OutLoud is one of the most anticipated youth poetry events of the year.
Junior Heats: 10.00am - 12.30pm
Senior Heats: 1.00pm - 2.30pm
To find out how your students can get involved and perform, visit www.outloudpoetryslam.com for more information and to register.
Presented in partnership with OutLoud in collaboration with Australian Poetry
