Poetry Out Loud is a national competition that teaches high school children about poetry by having them memorize and recite poems in front of an audience. Classrooms select students to compete in school-wide competitions. The winners of the school competitions go to the state competition, and those winners go to the national competition in Washington, DC. This year’s finals will take place between May 2nd and 4th, 2016, at the Lisner Auditorium at George Washington University in Washington, DC.

Poetry Out Loud is a partnership between the National Endowment for the Arts and the Poetry Foundation.

The Kentucky Arts Council is a state agency that creates “opportunities to foster environments to find value in the arts, participate in the arts and benefit from the arts through programs, grants and services.” (source)

    I believe what you posted was actually very logical.

    However, consider this, suppose you typed a catchier post title?
    I am not suggesting your content isn’t solid., but suppose you added a post
    title to possibly grab folk’s attention? I mean Kentucky’s Poetry Out Loud 2016 Finals | Accents Publishing Blog is a
    little boring. You might look at Yahoo’s front page and watch how they
    write post titles to get people to open the links.
    You might add a related video or a related picture or two to get readers interested about what you’ve got to say.
    In my opinion, it might bring your website a little bit more interesting.
