The 13th annual Word Up! Poetry Slam Finals were held on November 16th, 2022. We thank the community for supporting the art and expression of young minds in Sunrise who participated in our many years of free writing and performance workshops, auditions, and competitions at the Sunrise Civic Center!

We gratefully acknowledge our collaborators on this event series: the Jason Taylor Foundation, the Omari Hardwick bluapple Poetry Network, and the Art Prevails Project.

Teen poets, emcees, lyricists, comedians, and musicians are invited to join us at our monthly Lyrical Lounge events.
