WHAT IS A POETRY SLAM? 
Poetry slam is a competitive performance arts event, in which poets perform timed spoken word poetry before a live audience and a scattered panel of randomly chosen judges

WHAT HAPPENS AT PERTH SLAM? 
Slam contestants are given a microphone, a live audience and just two minutes to impress the judges with their ORIGINAL spoken word poetry.

No Props. No Costumes. Just pure words! You CAN read from your phone, tablet or paper, notebook etc. Just NO PROPS or accompaniments.

Five random judges are picked by the host. We pull raffle tickets given at the door from the AMAZING SLAM HAT! 

Once judges are chosen (and after our "sacrificial" poet tests the judges skills), we draw each poet's name from the hat and the competition begins.

After each 2 minute performance, judges hold up score cards using a 1-10 scale, with 10 being the highest.

Of the five scores for each poet, only the middle three scores are counted - we remove the "haters"💩 and the "lovers" 😍 score! 

And at the end of the night, the poet with the most points takes a big cut of the door! 🤑

Our Perth Slam rules are based on the Australian Poetry Slam rules.
