Poetry Slam & Share
Celebrate the Power of Poetry with Your Students!
To celebrate National Poetry Month, We Do It 4 the Culture™ hosts an annual Poetry Slam & Share for students. Students are encouraged to submit their original poems for a chance to win a $100 Amazon gift card.
They Not Like “Me”
The theme for 2025 is They Not Like “Me” — a celebration of what makes you different, bold, and completely original. We welcome submissions from individual students, entire classes, or small groups to promote collaboration and shared learning experiences.
Submission Guidelines
- Submissions should be recorded oral video poems
- Videos may be no more than 90 seconds long
- Submissions must be received by April 30
- Student submissions will also include a permission form to be completed by a parent or guardian.
Selected poems will be featured on our Instagram account as finalists, and the submission with the most “likes” will be the winner! The winning student will receive a $100 Amazon gift card.
Let’s celebrate National Poetry Month and the importance of emotional intelligence and empathy through the power of poetry!
