Middle Tennessee Teen Poetry Grand Slam

Listen as the region’s top youth poets, emcees, and spoken word artists compete for top lyrical honors, a chance to appear at the statewide finals, and a chance to win a paid summer artist development opportunity.

Southern Word creates a platform for youth to speak about the real hopes and challenges of their lives. Discretion is advised for this event as some material may be unsuitable for young children.
