If you find you are interested in partaking in the slam this year (ooo), the rules will be posted below. If you find you are wanting to spit your poetry without competing, no stress we have an open mic before the slam. :) And if you're keen to sit back and enjoy Tāmaki poetry at its finest, you should come through 'cause you won't want to miss it.RULES Sign up on the night.Two round slam with eliminations in-between - you cannot repeat poems, therefore you must have two poems.You have three minutes to read your poem, then a ten second grace period. After the grace period, you'll receive a 0.5 point deduction tor every 10 seconds overtime you go.Poems must be original work.No props, costumes, music, or accompaniment of any kind that you cannot make with your body.Events are all ages to attend, but to compete in Slams you must be 18 or older and not in high school.No heckling and no hate speech.While it may sound scary, slam is just an excuse tor poets to get together and work on their craft - in the name of friendly competition. If you want to share a poem but don't want to compete, there is a short open mic at the start of every slam which anyone can participate in, and of course we always need judges!If you do not know anybody competing, you can be a judge. These are chosen and briefed by the MC on the night. Any disputes about the rules must be brought to a member of the 09 Team during the slam, and the designated adjudicator on the night will have final say. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/auckland/09-poetry-slam-regionals-1/100001998604050516 - **Event Categories**: art, literary-art, open-mic, workshops, nonprofit, contests - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 11.43, max: 32.97, currency: NZD ## Event venue details - **city**: Auckland - **state**: AU - **country**: New Zealand - **location**: SMALL RAVE - **lat**: -36.8581005 - **long**: 174.7620205 - **full address**: SMALL RAVE, 74 Karangahape Road, Auckland, New Zealand ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: 09 Poetry Slam Regionals #1 - **Image URL**: https://dyn-image.allevents.in/generate-image?v=4&title=09+Poetry+Slam+Regionals+%231&date=Thu%2C+27+Aug%2C+2026+at+06%3A30+pm&bg=2 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is 09 Poetry Slam Regionals #1 being held? - **A:** 09 Poetry Slam Regionals #1 takes place on Thu, 27 Aug, 2026 at 06:30 pm to Thu, 27 Aug, 2026 at 09:00 pm at SMALL RAVE, 74 Karangahape Road, Auckland, New Zealand. - **Q**: Who is organizing 09 Poetry Slam Regionals #1? - **A:** 09 Poetry Slam Regionals #1 is organized by The 09 Poetry Slam. - **Q**: Who is this event for?
