is The Poetry Slam!
BAD!SLAM!NO!BISCUIT! FEBRUARY POSTER |
It is
The Poetry Slam because it gives you two minutes, two microphones, one stage,
two and sometimes three MCs, one audience, one The Master of Conflict, one
stage, one The Sound Guy, five Judges, one The Sacrificial Poet and more 1st
prizes than you can currently know; all because we want your original words on
stage, with no props and no music, all for glory.
