2021 Poetry Out Loud Registration Now Open | Registration for 2021 Poetry Out Loud is now open! Poetry Out Loud seeks to foster the next generation of literary readers by capitalizing on the latest trends in poetry - recitation and performance.

New for 2021
- This year, regional, state, and national finals will all be virtual events, hosted online with students participating from their home or classroom. Additionally, our amazing regional partners will offer coaching online for small groups and individual students and work closely with teachers to help them navigate this new approach to the competition.
- For the first time, home-schooled students and students attending nonparticipating schools can register themselves for the competition. In lieu of a school-level competition, these students will compete against other individually registered students or advance automatically to the regional finals.

Pandemic Brings challenges (and Opportunities) for Arts Education | "My theme today is adaptation," said Bahia Ramos, Wallace's director of the arts, on a recent webinar hosted by Grantmakers in the Arts (GIA). "By that I mean a special kind of change. A change that makes a practice better suited to its environment." | | | |
