Sacramento, CA — He did it again. A local student has won the California Arts Council’s Poetry Out Loud competition for the second time in three years.

The state finals were held in Sacramento over the past two days, and Levi Lowe was the top finisher.

Lowe also won the competition in 2015 as a sophomore at Sonora High School.

Lowe now moves on to the national competition April 24-26 in Washington, DC. When Lowe competed back in 2015 he was one of nine students that transferred to the final round of the national contest.
