The competition is scheduled for Saturday, 10 October, at the Philipsburg Cultural Center, beginning at 7pm AST.

According to The People’s Tribune, students will use spoken word to address mental health, emotions, life experiences and issues affecting young people. Participants will compete in two rounds, with performances judged on creativity, originality, freedom of expression, delivery and connection with the audience.

The newspaper reported that prizes will be awarded during the competition. Schools can register through a link on the foundation’s Facebook page.
