A poetry slam is a competitive art event in which poets perform spoken word poetry before a live audience and a panel of judges. While formats can vary, slams are often loud and lively, with audience participation, cheering and dramatic delivery.
Poets should prepare three original SLAM poems, each under three minutes reading time; notes are allowed. Judges, selected from the audience, score each reading. The poets with highest scores move forward through consecutive rounds. The top three in the final round win cash prizes.
Poetry Slams are sponsored in part by Bemidji Area Arts Endowment and Sundown Records in Bemidji, MN.
