About this Event
Welcome to the Bigfoot Poetry Festival’s Youth Poetry Slam, hosted by Brennan DeFrisco!
Come out on Saturday, June 15th, at 1:00pm. 14 youth poets will compete in a two round poetry slam. Winner gets the opprotunity to perform a poem in the showcase that same evening at the Bigfoot Poetry Festival's Finals Stage event (happening at 7:00pm at the United Church of Christ). Plus they will also win a $50 gift card to Powell's Books.
Everyone is welcome to attend this poetry slam as it is a FREE event.
Poets must be 19 or younger to take part. Poets must have 2 poems (they do not need to be memorized), and both poems must be 3 minutes or less. The slam's first round will contain 14 poets, and teh second round we will cut down to 7 poets.
To sign up to be in the poetry slam, please fill out this form:
If we receive more than 14 sign ups, there will be a randomized draw to determine the participants in this event (as well as a calibration poet). Some priority will be given to poets who are in Portland specifically for the Bigfoot Poetry Festival. We will do our best to have multiple schools are represented. Poets will be emailed at the start of June with more information.
