WANT TO SLAM?
We have 6 slots we're giving out in advance, first come first serve. Buying one of our ‘Slammer’ tickets guarantees you a spot in the slam.
If you miss those, we're saving a few spots for on the night. We'll pull a few names out of the hat at the start of the night.
Slam Rules:
One Night Slam is a Two Round poetry slam, every competing poet performs twice.
Slammers will have a 3 minute time limit with a 10 second grace period, after that they'll start to be deducted points.
Must be your own work.
No props.
No backing tracks.

- Slots are 3 minutes long with a 10 second grace period. Beyond that you will start to lose points. We ask that you leave the stage as soon as you can after this as we'd like to get all of our performers on and finish the night at a respectable time.
