## About this program

Poetry Out Loud is a poetry recitation competition for high school students, an initiative of the National Endowment for the Arts run in Delaware by the Delaware Division of the Arts. Students memorize and recite poems they choose from the Poetry Out Loud anthology of classic and contemporary poems. Throughout the fall, participating schools hold classroom and school-wide competitions, and winners advance to Delaware's state finals on February 18, 2027 at the Smyrna Opera House in Smyrna.

Students from all Delaware high schools, including public, private, parochial, independent, charter and home schools. Schools and organizations register at arts.delaware.gov, and registration for the 2026-2027 program runs through October 30, 2026; students join through a participating school or organization.
