The Word Vancouver Seventeen Syllable Slam 2026
Details
The Word Vancouver Seventeen Syllable Slam is a literary comedy poetry competition where poets attempt to win over judges with their short poems. Each poem needs to have seventeen syllables or less (sort of like a Haiku) and there will be 16 poets in the competition, with the top four taking home cash prizes. The poems do not have to be funny, but the event certainly will be. Please expect a unicorn, bubbles, flags, and fur.

The venue fits about 100 but the free version of this site (Meetup) limits the total to 10 or so.
