Black Dot Open Mic Night & Poetry Slam ($200 Cash Prize)

This is a competitive poetry performance in which selected audience members score performers, and winners are determined by total points. Slam is a composite genre that combines elements of poetry, theater, performance, and storytelling. The genre’s origins can be traced to Chicago in the early 1980s. Since then, groups of volunteers have organized slams in venues across the world.

There will be a Cash Prize and 2 Hours studio time at @richworldstudios for the Winner, as well as 2nd and 3rd place prizes.

This is a spectacular evening that you will not want to miss.
