The Nebraska Writers Collective proudly presents the Lincoln Poetry Slam, a monthly open mic and poetry slam, held on the second Thursday of every month at Larksong Writers Place, 1600 N Cotner Blvd.
Doors open at 6:30 p.m. We will start at 7 p.m. with an open mic and then the competitive individual slam! Sign up at the event. (If you plan to compete in the slam, bring three poems.)
There is a $10 suggested donation.

🎤 WANT TO PARTICIPATE? 🎤
Slam performers will have up to 3 minutes in each round to perform, and will be judged by five audience members on a scale from 0.0-10.0. Top performing poets will move onto the second and third rounds, and the top scorer will walk away with $50! All poems must be performed solo without props, costumes, musical accompaniment, and must consist entirely of the poet’s original words and work.
For the open mic, you can perform either your work or the work of others with attribution. Open mic readers have up to 5 minutes to perform.
In the interest of creating the most inclusive environment for our all-ages audience, we have a zero tolerance policy for racism, sexism, misogyny, transphobia, homophobia, religious discrimination, or otherwise harmful writing and performance. Your time on the mic is not guaranteed.

🟠 Catch the Omaha Poetry Slam every second Saturday of the month at The Local Art Plug, 1722 St. Marys Ave., Suite 110.
