or simply love performing, sign up to participate in our Poetry Slam competition.
Prizes will be awarded to best original poem and best performance
of a published poem, and all participants will receive a free drink from
Travelin' Tom's Coffee Truck which will be present on the day of the event.
Poetry Slam Guidelines:
Poems must be memorized, not read.
Poems/performances cannot exceed 3 minutes long
Performers may not use props, costumes, or musical instruments
While the guest judges deliberate, the mic will be open for
anyone who wants to perform or recite outside of the regular competition.
Guest performer: Local Poet Ariana Cherry
