Words Ignite’s 13th annual Classic Poetry Slam Finals will be held on April 20, 2024. The event will be a youthful celebration, featuring some of Los Angeles' best youth poets as they use their voices to share fresh perspectives and demonstrate storytelling at the highest level. The Classic Slam is the culmination of Get Lit’s in-school programming and one of the largest Spoken Word events in the country. Now in its 13th year, the Classic Slam has grown to a multiple-day event held in historic theaters with thousands of dollars in prize money. The two-day Classic Slam event, which culminates with the finals on April 20th, is the largest classic poetry slam in the world and includes hundreds of young poets from schools throughout southern California. These young poets will come together to perform classic/contemporary poems alongside their original Spoken Word responses, live, for a panel of judges.
