The Writer's Den Poetry Slam Team will be showcasing pieces they will be using for competition at The Southern Fried Poetry Festival. Come support the team and see some brand new work! This month's slam is a head to head where 8 poets will battle it out to claim the top spot.
Rules #InTheDen
-Each round, judges will hear both poets and choose poet 'A' or poet 'B'.
-Poems must be your original work
-poems are scored by 5 judges on a scale of 0.0 to 10.0. the highest and lowest scores are dropped. The three remaining score are totaled giving a poet their score for that round. the highest score a poem can receive is a 30.
-The order of performances is determined during the slam via a random draw. The host will pull names out of a hat each round
-poets get the maximum amount of 3 minutes and 10 seconds to perform. anything second over that results in a 0 for that round. The time starts once the poet engages the audience either by addressing the crowd verbally or doing a purposeful movement that infers the performance has started.
-no props are allowed onstage. you may read from a page or device but do not make reference to the page or device because it will be considered a prop at that point. violation of the prop rule will result in disqualification
- winner of that night will receive a small cash prize.
