The Teen Poetry Slam is a 25-year tradition celebrating some of the most amazing young writers and performers in the Bay. Come witness the highest-scoring finalists bring their best original poems. The highest-scoring poets in prelims win $50 and a chance to earn their seat on the Bay Area Brave New Voices team. This event is free for anyone aged 21 and under. The Teen Poetry Slam is only open to Bay Area youth. If you’re not a Bay Area youth, volunteer to help judge the event. Want to join?
