Australian Poetry Slam Brisbane Heat (Ruckus Slam!)

Poets Run This!
Have you ever wanted to change the world with your words? You are invited to rip those scrawled leaves of passion from your notebook and ignite them on stage.
Every year since 2007, Word Travels runs Australian Poetry Slam (APS) heats and wordshops in over 60 locations across the Asia-Pacific. APS is the cupped hand amplifying the shouts of over 2000 new and emerging writers annually.
Share your words for two minutes on the mic. By throwing your ideas into the slam-storm, you could be chosen as the 2026 Australian Poetry Slam-bassador and offered an international writers’ festival tour worth about $20K.

This APS Heat audience will send two writers to represent Brisbane in a performance at the QLD Final. The top 16 in the country make it to the National Final at Sydney Opera House on the 25th of October.
