This is from the Hobsons Bay Libraries newsletter.
Australian Poetry Slam 2010 - Victorian Heats


You have two minutes and a microphone, so slam it!

The search is on for Australia's next poetry slam champion! Speak, scream, howl, whisper or sing your original poem at the Australian Poetry Slam 2010 - an electric live event where the audience is the judge! Slam heats are being held in city and regional venues across the state in October and November. Two finalists from each slam heat will compete in the state final at the State Library of Victoria on Friday 19 November.

What are the prizes?

Heat winners will receive cash or a prize to the value of $100. The top two point scorers from each heat will go on to compete in the state final.

The state winners and runners-up will take home $500 and $100 in prize money, respectively, and compete for the Australian Poetry Slam 2010 title at the national final in Sydney on 5 December.

The overall winner will receive places at the 2011 Ubud Readers & Writers Festival and the 2011 Beijing International Literary Festival, including flights and accommodation.
