Program Description

Event Details

City of Asylum cordially invites you to participate in the 2024 Pittsburgh Teen Poetry Slam Contest. 

This year, we hope to explore one of two themes with contest participants: identity and social justice.

Slam poetry offers a uniquely expressive medium to engage with audiences in emotionally charged and deeply personal performances. While there will only be one winner in each age category, all contest participants may expect their poetry writing and public performing skills to be honed and exercised. We believe in the transformative power of poetry, and hope to provide a platform to amplify the voices and ideas of young poets.
