Doors open at 6:30 PM
Competition is 7:00-9:00 PM
Tucson Slam Poetry was built as a safe space to express truth and be a bridge between community and art. Founded by 3 amazing spoken word artists in June of 2025, their summer season was hosted at Valley of the Moon prior to moving to The Coalition Space.
Slam is a form of poetry competition that was founded by Marc Smith in Chicago in 1984. Whether performing or cheering from the audience, your soul will be touched by some amazing artists.
The rules to compete are simple:
*All poems must be original and written by the poet competing
*Poems will be judged by 3-5 randomly selected judges in the audience
*Poets will compete in 1 to 3 rounds (be prepared with 3 poems) with scoring to determine round 2 and 3 competitors
*No props, costumes, or other materials not available to all posts are allowed
*No hate speech, disruptive behavior or nudity (respect each other)
*3 minute maximum with a 10 second grace period (.5 deducted for every 10 seconds over)
Signups to complete should be sent prior to: [email protected]
(you may sign up at walk in if spots open)
Cost to attend is "pay what you can from $1 to $10"
Feel free to bring your own non-alcoholic beverage.
(Please note that topics often include sensitive, adult content or language, so suggested audience is 13 or older)
