Poetry Out Loud competition

Orange High School will participate for the first time in the national Poetry Out Loud poetry recitation contest sponsored by the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) and the Poetry Foundation, administered statewide by the Ohio Arts Council. We will have a local competition (similar to our Slam contest) and a student will be selected to represent OHS at the Ohio competition on Saturday, March 16, 2013. The Ohio winner will advance to the national competition in April 2013. Finalists for the national championship will compete for scholarship prizes totaling $50,000, with the national champion claiming $20,000 in scholarship funding. For Poetry Out Loud contest details, please see me! We will have an informational meeting after the Thanksgiving holiday.
