The Annual Spoken Word Competition returns to the 51st ICNA Convention - hosted by Ibrahim Jaaber.
Poetry. Passion. Power. This is the stage where Muslim poets take the mic and turn lived experience into art that moves an entire room. Faith, identity, justice, hope, struggle - all of it, raw and original, performed live in Baltimore.
Two age groups. Three minutes. And the chance to perform on the main stage at the ICNA-MAS Convention.
