Montana Arts Council's Poetry Out Loud starts in the classroom, with participating teachers using the Poetry Out Loud teacher toolkit to teach poetry recitation and run classroom competitions.

Following a pyramid structure, classroom winners advance to a school-wide competition, then to a regional and/or state competition, and ultimately to the National Finals.

This year's Poetry Out Loud State Finals will take place on March 3, 2018 at the Grandstreet Theatre in Helena. Poetry starts at 9:00 a.m.

Open to the public! We hope to see you there!
