Poetry Slam Competition Heats Up

8 October 2008

The heats are on across the state to find Victoria's best slam poet. Competitors will be speaking, screaming or singing their original works throughout October at heats in Geelong, Northcote, Footscray, Woodend and Mornington.

In the exciting Poetry Slam competition, poets have two minutes to impress the audience with their creative words and delivery, and the crowd decides the winner.

Heat winners will go on to battle in the state final showdown at the State Library of Victoria on Thursday 13 November. The electric live event will feature performances by the Bedroom Philosopher and slam legend Miles Merrill.

Victoria's top two slam poets will compete for the Australian Poetry Slam '08 title in the national final at the Sydney Opera House.
