Louder Than a Bomb
Louder Than a Bomb - 2010
Celebrating the 10th Anniversary of Louder Than A Bomb: The Chicago Youth Poetry Festival, Chicago Public Radio invited competition Finalists in to record their work. With over 650 youth participants, representing 65 teams - coming from every side of the city, the suburbs, rural Illinois and NW Indiana - LTAB is the largest team youth slam in existence and one of the greatest tools a young person has to speak and to be heard.


Congratulations to all who participated in the 2010 competition and good luck to all these Finalists as they battle Saturday, March 6 to see who will win & represent Chicago at Nationals!
