Opportunity Details:
If you are applying as both a poet and a platform curator, you will be considered for partnership opportunities within The Black Poets Fest. Selected partners will be recognized in festival promotional materials and invited on stage to briefly introduce their platform and share how attendees can connect with their work. This opportunity is designed to increase visibility for poetry platforms, foster collaboration, and create pathways for poets, organizations, and supporters to discover and engage with your community.
If you are applying as a poet only, you will be considered for a featured performance slot of up to five minutes on the festival stage.
