Vote Now for Our Next Scholarship Winner

Now It's Your Turn to Speak Truth to Power


Speak out and vote at PowerPoetry.org!

Our Power Poets submitted tons of amazing entries to our Twist and Shout Scholarship Slam. The choices were tough to make, but we've narrowed your poems down to five fantastic finalists — and now it's up to YOU to decide who the winner ought to be!

Voting is easy! Just click below to go to a poem's page and then click VOTE if you like it. That will let you share the poem on your Facebook or Twitter. One share directly from the VOTE button on the poem's homepage equals one vote, and you can vote as many times as you like! Social shares on Facebook and Twitter DON'T COUNT as votes unless they're shared from PowerPoetry.org. Voting closes on Friday, November 21.
