A poetry slam is a competitive event in which poets perform their work and are judged by members of the audience. Typically, the host or another organizer selects the judges from the audience, who are instructed to give numerical scores (on a zero to 10 or one to 10 scale) based on the poets' content and performance. Poets can perform in-person and on Instagram live. A maximum of 4 in-person and 4 online competitors will be able to sign up.
Online competitors must sign up in advance using this link**.
In-person competitors should arrive 30 minutes prior to the event and the selection is first-come-first-serve.
