July 19-24 2010

13th Annual Brave New Voices is coming to Los Angeles. Brave New Voices (BNV) was started off by Youth Speaks’ San Francisco Teen Poetry Slams.  It escaladed into a national poetry slam, where youth from across the nation speak—representing who they are and where they come from. 

This Festival brings together young artists, educators, community leaders, activists, and storytellers to Los Angeles to build coalition and dialogue that addresses what they see and live.  There will be 750 participants from 50 international communities, who fearlessly step up to the mic and tell it how it is.

There are many events during the Brave New Voices Festival including:
The First Wave Show/The Peoples Championship (Individual Late-Night Slam Tournament)/The Brave New Leaders Conference/2nd Annual BNV MC Olympics/Brave New Voices Speak Green ft. special guest/The International Youth Poetry Slam/Quarter Finals (Begins with 50 teams)/Semi Finals (Reserved for 16 teams)/Finals (Reserved for the final 4 teams)/Open Mics, Cyphers, and more…
