Poetry Slam

Event Description:

The Poetry Slam is a NEW event! Here are the rules:

1. Students perform their OWN ORIGINAL poetry.

2. Performances have a MAXIMUM time limit of 5 minutes (plus 30 second grace period).

3. Poetry can be about any topic.

4. Performance should include an introduction that gives the title of the piece. Introductions may also include a brief discussion of theme, inspiration, etc.

5. Performers cannot wear costumes or use props.

6. Performers can use a binder OR perform from memory.

All recordings should have a stable and stationary camera (no panning, no zooming, no moving), and competitors must remain on screen at all times. Performances and speeches must be unedited, but competitors may trim the beginning and end of videos to cut themselves setting up, starting, and/or stopping the camera.
