Every third Saturday of the month, Philly Youth Poetry Movement (PYPM) hosts a youth-led open mic and poetry slam for teens to come and share their work in a safe, uncensored environment.
Youth must be between the ages of 13-19 in order to participate in the slam.
Points accrued throughout the season go towards semis/finals, which determine the six youth who will represent Philadelphia at Brave New Voices International Poetry Festival.
All who wish to participate in the slam must register and sign up each month the Monday prior to the slam. Sign up is posted at 7:00 p.m.
