We will present a 3-day festival of poetry competition, workshops, open mics and themed readings that are free for the general audience to attend and open to all who wish to participate. As we celebrate the oral tradition of story-telling and the dynamic energy of live performance, the top 4 teams in competition will take the Finals stage for a shot at the top prize, winning a significant cash prize and bragging rights! Together, we will raise a collective voice to inspire and elevate the art of poetry.
