Who will be the next Australian Poetry Slam champion?
The search is on for NSW’s best talent!
Speak, scream, howl, whisper or sing your original poem at the Australian Poetry Slam — NSW heats — in an electric live event where the audience is the judge! All contestants are given a mic, a live audience and just two minutes to impress the judges (selected at random at each heat) with their spoken word, poetry, hip hop, monologues and stories.
Heat winners will compete in the State Final at the State Library of NSW on the 21st November 2008. NSW’s top two slam poets will battle against state and territory winners for the coveted Australian Poetry Slam 08 title and $5,000 cash.
There are 4 heats to go in NSW before the NSW State Final on the 21st November 2008. For more information on the heats and the rules, please go to www.sl.nsw.gov.au/poetryslam . The National Grand Final will be held at the Sydney Opera House on the 4th December 2008.
