About Australian Poetry Slam
Performing writers get a microphone, a live audience, and just two minutes to capture the crowd with a new original poem.
The host randomly selects five judges from the audience. After each performance, judges hold up scorecards using a 1-10 scale.
Performing writers with the top scores go to the next round (Queensland final). See Australian Poetry Slam website for rules and full Terms and conditions.
