- June Poetry Slam at X House in Nyack NYX House, Nyack, NY
We're currently holding a poetry slam the first Saturday of each month.
What's a poetry slam? It's a performance poetry competition judged by the audience. We use anonymous whole-room voting, so everybody in the audience gets to decide how the slam goes.
If you want to complete in the slam, bring at least 3 original poems, each of duration 5 minutes or less.
Show consists of:
- short open mic [4 people max]
- a poetry slam limited to 8 folk; the slam'll be 3 rounds with poets eliminated each round
- a $5-$10 cover (sliding scale: $10 if you can manage $10, otherwise $5)
- prizes: $75 for first place, $25 for second place
Sign-ups and doors open at 7:30 PM; sign-ups close at 8:00 and the show proper starts at about 8:02.
CART captioning is available with sufficient advance notice.
