Get ready to be inspired by the next generation of Australian poetry.
Hosted by acclaimed poet and educator Emilie Zoey Baker, the 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.
Years 10 - 12 Heats and Finals: Monday 25 August
Years 7 - 9 Heats and Finals: Monday 1 September

Presented in partnership with OutLoud in collaboration with Australian Poetry via the Copyright Agency Cultural Fund
