We paused. Took a moment. A world-wide “…Ummm”. Now, the slam storm returns.
Think what you've got what it takes to become Australia's next Poetry Slam champion? All you need is an original poem and 2 mins on the mic. Two poets chosen by the audience will go on to the QLD state finals with the chance for a shot at the nationals.
From June to October, 1000 writers will grab their moment in the spotlight leading to one National Final at Sydney Opera House and a prize worth $20,000, including publishing opportunities and gigs from Byron to Bali and beyond.
Bring yourself and an original poem, and perform to be in the running to win!
REMEMBER – The Australian Poetry Slam has different rules to a regular Ruckus. You can find them all here: https://www.australianpoetryslam.com/rules
