Australian Poetry Slam Youth (formerly known as The Rumble Youth Slam) is the largest youth poetry slam in Sydney. Held annually by Word Travels, the program involves workshops and slams throughout Sydney, culminating in the explosive finale at Story Week.

Young people aged 12-18 are invited to perform at APS Youth heats. Bringing rap performances, stories, monologues and poems to the stage, each performer has just two minutes to wow the crowd. No props, no music – just the performer, a microphone and the spotlight. Audience members vote for the top young artists who go on to represent their suburb at the APS Youth - Sydney Final.
