The Spork! Poetry Slam is back.
10 poets will battle it out to become the new Spork! Slam Champion, with a £50 cash prize up for grabs (& a coveted Spork! Mug.) Plus a special headline set from the incredible Sam J Grudgings.
The rules are simple: across 3 rounds of fierce but friendly competition, poets will woo and wow the audience with their words. Poems cannot exceed more than 3 minutes in length, and poets must prepare a total of 3 poems each. The winner will be decided by audience vote.
Fancy giving it a go? The Slam is open to everyone regardless of age or experience. For more info & to enter, email Chris at sporkpoetry@gmail.com. Priority places for first-time Slammers
