The competition is open to all high school students across the country.
According to the station, all that you need to do to enter is to fill out the form on the 5FM app and include a short video to showcase your "poetic superpowers".
The entries close on Friday, 10 May.
The top five young poets who will be chosen will get to attend an exclusive workshop, which will be presented by world champions of the trade. They will also secure a coveted spot in the epic 5 School Poetry Slam, taking place on Saturday, 25 May at the SABC in Auckland Park.
5FM's acting business manager Michael Bossenger says, "South African youth are well-known for their passion and fearlessness in speaking about things close to their hearts. True to 5FM's core of getting South Africa's brightest and best young minds heard, we're taking that fire, giving it a proper stage and amplifying it for all of South Africa to hear."
The station concludes that all individuals can tune into 5 Breakfast, 06:00-09:00 on weekdays on 5FM, to share in the excitement and camaraderie in the slam of all slams, the biggest gift-of-the-gab showcase in South Africa.
