Facilitated locally by DNACA, Poetry Out Loud is seeking local students grades 9 - 12, who are currently homeschooled and not enrolled in a public high school, to participate in the program. Poetry Out Loud, presented in partnership with the California Arts Council, the National Endowment for the Arts, and the Poetry Foundation, encourages high school students to learn about great poetry— both classic and contemporary—through memorization, performance, and competition. The Del Norte county champion can advance to the Poetry Out Loud state and national finals, where $50,000 in awards and school stipends will be distributed.
