## About this program

The Texas Commission on the Arts (TCA) conducts the state Poetry Out Loud recitation competition, a program produced on a national scale by the National Endowment for the Arts. With assistance from Art Spark Texas, TCA gives schools lesson plans, resources and the chance to work with Texas poets. Poetry Out Loud is returning for the 2026-2027 school year, and schools register through their state arts agency.

High school students in Texas. Participation is open to high schools and to nonprofit organizations serving high school students; home-schooled students and students whose schools do not hold a competition are encouraged to contact the Texas state coordinator.
