Nelson Live Poets people will be joining us too, so its gearing up to be a wonderful night of spoken word performances!!
A POETRY SLAM is a spoken word event where poets ‘slam off’ against each for the honour of representing the Golden Bay/Nelson region at the National event in Auckland in November.
Competitors come armed with three original poems, each no more that three minutes long. No props are allowed – just your voice performing your poems by wrote.
The event is run over three rounds, with competitors dropping out until three are left in the final round. Each round is judged by random audience judges who mark each performance out of 10. After round one, the top scores go through to round two and from round two the top scores go through to round three.
The winner will flown to Auckland to represent Golden Bay/Nelson in the National finals in November. So the winner must be prepared to travel to Auckland to represent the region. Airfares will be provided by Golden Bay/Nelson Live Poets Societies from our Creative Communities grant money.
