WHAT IS IT? The Australian Poetry Slam is a live literary performance program where the audience decides the national slam champion ?.
With a nationwide round of around 60 heats, the best slammers will perform and compete for the chance to be the next Australian Poetry Slam National Champion!
So, whether you're a poet or an audience member, you can be part of the search for the next Australian slam champion.
Here's the basics:
Performing writers are given a microphone, a live audience, and just two minutes to capture the crowd.
The host selects five judges at random from the crowd. After each performance, judges hold up score cards using a 1-10 scale, with 10 being the highest. Of the five scores for each poet, only the middle three scores are counted. The judges’ decisions are final.
Two performers with the highest scores in each heat will proceed to the WA Final.
14 slam spots will be available at the venue on the day. Sign up at the venue.
