About this Event

Spellbound's 2nd Qualifier Poetry Slam


Join us at Common House.

The SpellBound Slam team is back with another slam!! Poets from around the state come to compete for a cash prize and a spot in the grand slam in January!!

Doors Open at 7PM.

Show starts at 7:30PM.

Rules/Details: 10 (12...we're considering) poets will present their original work for the audience, 5 judges picked from the audience will score the poems from 0.0 to 10.0 using decimals to minimize ties.

ALL ROUNDS ARE CLEAN SLATE...this means scores for each round only matter to that round!! There are 3 rounds! Poets, come ready with 3 poems of your original work!

Poets will have 3:00 minute w/ a 10sec grace period to perform their poems. Usually there is a .5 for every 10sec a poet goes over...but here at SpellBound we don't do unnecessary math...so if a poem hits 3:11 the Poet will be disqualified from moving on!!

The cuts for each round will be 1st-10(12) poets 2nd-6(7) poets 3rd-3poets If there is a tie going from the 1st to 2nd...or 2nd to 3rd round...we will not take the tying poets to the next round!!

Time starts when the Poet engages the audience

No props, costumes, or anything accompanying the poets work...just words and performance

The top 2 poets of the night get:

1st place $100

2nd place $50

And qualify to return in January for the SpellBound Grand Slam!!

Come and be spellbound!
