About the Slam:
March 24th features a 2-round poetry slam. The 4 highest-scoring poets qualify for VAN SLAM FINALS on April 7th - and a chance to rep Vancouver in CIPS!
How the slam works:
- 10 spots available in-person on line (if more than 10 signed up, random draw decides who gets in)
- 3-minute time limit both rounds
- All poets perform one poem in the 1st round
- 5 highest-scoring poets perform a second poem in the 2nd round
BUT AS ALWAYS:
The point is NOT the points: the point is the POETRY!
So thrilled to be featured at Vancouver Poetry Slam for the 1st time, next Monday, March 24! ✨❤️✨
This event is hybrid, so come to Shamshiri Caveman or join online!
The top 4 competitors from that night’s 2-round slam will qualify for Van Slam Finals!
