POETRY OUT LOUD NEVADA FINALS – Ten Nevada high school students will converge at the Governor's Mansion in Carson City on Saturday, April 22 at 1:30 p.m. to participate in the final competition of the Poetry Out Loud: National Recitation Program, presented in partnership by the Nevada Arts Council, Nevada Alliance for the Arts, National Endowment for the Arts and The Poetry Foundation. The winner of the Poetry Out Loud Nevada finals will receive $1,000, and the winner’s school will receive a $2,000 stipend for the purchase of poetry books and to support literary programs. The second and third place students will each receive $500, with $1,000 for his or her school. The State Champion of the Poetry Out Loud Nevada final will receive an all expenses-paid trip (with a chaperone) to compete in the National Finals in Washington, DC, on May 16, 2006. The Poetry Out Loud National Finals will award a total of $50,000 in scholarships and school stipends, with a $20,000 college scholarship for the Poetry Out Loud National Champion. Similar to the National Spelling Bee structure, the student semi-finalists participated in workshops and school-wide and district competitions to prepare for this event. More than 250,000 students across the country are expected to take part in Poetry Out Loud this year. Contestants recited works they selected from an anthology of more than 400 classic and contemporary poems.

Scott Momaday and Rita Dove. “Nevada’s semi-finalists have worked hard these past months.
