As the judges prepared to hear the performances, the contestants begin to sweat, and the air becomes tense. PoetryOutLoud has started.  The contestants are called up one by one, each with their own specific talents. Each contestant gave their best, and the contest was very close, and eventually, the top 3 were selected. Bayan Hudeib was voted into 1st place and will be going to regionals on February 10th.
