Summer Slam is back throughout January and early February in 2026, with two heats and a final. The Summer Slam is a beginner friendly, relaxed slam and a great way to kick off the coming year of poetic endeavours.There is no theme, so make the most of those lazy summer evenings⦠dip your legs in the pool and get to writing!
Our opening heat is at Jive, a fabulous venue with a big stage, great bar and fun vibe. They have supported SWSA for years so come along and support them.
5 poets from each of 2 heats win prizes and go through to the final.
Tickets $10 at the door or via TryBooking
Heat 2 will be at Campbelltown Library in Saturday 31 January and the final will be at the State Library on Saturday 7 February.
The usual rules apply, which you can read at the SWSA website:
