Youth Speaks Seattle 2011 Grand Slam Round 3

Each year, the Youth Speaks Seattle Slam Series showcases some of the best in original youth spoken word poetry, dazzling with raw insight and impassioned performance. Join us this year as Arts Corps presents this incredible series and celebration of youth voice at Town Hall, where twelve teen poets compete to secure a spot on the 2011 Seattle Youth Poetry Slam Team.

The team will travel to the Bay Area in July to represent Seattle at the Brave New Voices International Youth Poetry Slam, which convenes young poets from over seventy different cities to compete and perform. Since 2007, HBO has produced Russell Simmons Presents: Brave New Voices, a documentary of the annual slam series that showcases the work of youth poets.
