In a time where truth often flickers behind screens and silence becomes routine, poetry still dares to speak and Ehalakasa dares to listen.
On August 9th, 2025, at exactly 6PM, the Ehalakasa National Poetry Slam Prelims will blaze through the walls of the British Council, turning stage into story, microphone into mission, and word into weapon.
This isn’t just a night of verse it’s a rite of passage. A nation’s most fearless poets will step forward, each bearing a story stitched in struggle, hope, humor, resistance, and raw humanity. This is where Ghana’s boldest voices rise. This is where one poet earns the right to carry our fire to the world.
Backed by the British Council, this event is not merely an artistic competition. It’s a cultural cornerstone part of EHALAKASA’s ongoing commitment to shaping Ghana’s performance poetry ecosystem and aligning it with global excellence.
Whether you’re a slam regular, a curious newcomer, or a cultural enthusiast seeking truth beyond headlines, this is the stage you don’t want to miss.
Because when poets speak, nations listen.
IT LIVES IN US!
