Word – The Front Line Ōtautahi is Christchurch’s Inter-High School Poetry Slam. High School teams from across the city will compete to be crowned the 2024 Champion and get a chance to represent Ōtautahi in Auckland later this year.

More than a poetry slam, Word – The Front Line is a celebration of the future artists, leaders, and legends of Aotearoa. This is a poetic battlefield unlike any other!
