Poetry Out Loud is a national program through National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) that encourages high school students to learn about great poetry as they memorize and perform notable poems in a series of competitions that begin in the classroom and will culminate with national championships in Washington, D.C. in April 2010.

For complete details on how to bring this program to your school visit Poetry Out Loud.

The deadline to register schools to participate is November 6, 2009.
