Poetry Out Loud Regional Semifinals

November 18, 2023

Cheer on students from across SE Ohio as they compete in the regional semi-finals of a national dynamic poetry recitation competition. The Semifinal is free and open to the public—no ticket required. This annual event brings together high school students from across the SE who memorize and recite classic and contemporary poetry. The top-scoring students at the end of the competition will be announced as state finalists (I.e., there will be no first, second, or third place), and the state finalists will be invited to compete in the Ohio Poetry Out Loud State Finals.
