If you have never been to a Poetry Slam before, a poetry slam is a competition, imagine spoken word poetry as an olympic sport. The rules are simple: 1) poets must use their own poems, 2) poet must use only one poem per round, 3) no musical accompaniment, 4) no props, 5) there is a time limit of 3 minutes and 10 seconds. going over that will result in a time penalty, 6) poets must have video on while performing or there will be a 3-point penalty deduction.

This is a two-round slam, poets with the highest scores will move up to round two.
You can sign up to compete via the chat box in the zoom room.
