Poetry Out Loud is a national competition for high school students that encourages them to memorize and recite great works of poetry. Each year thousands of students from every corner of Vermont participate. Poetry Out Loud begins at the classroom level, with teachers organizing contests involving one class or a whole school. Students choose and learn about poems from an extensive online anthology of classical and contemporary poetry while mastering public speaking skills as well as building self-confidence.

The winners of school competitions advance to the state finals, and ultimately to the national finals in Washington, D.C.
