The Youth Slam was held in partnership with International Festival of Arts & Ideas. The event was held on the New Haven green where 12 students competed for monetary prizes. All who participated in the competition performed original work. The slam consisted of 3 rounds so all students prepared an original 1 minute poem, 2 minute poem and 3 minute poem. It was amazing to witness the cumulation of work that each person brought to the stage. It was a memorable night for all!
