A note on accessibility: We would like to make the festival as accessible as possible. To support the efforts of our Accessibility Coordinator, Rabbit Richards, please ask your rep to take a moment to respond to our
accessibility survey **If you are a venue outside of BC, your rep will receive a small subsidy to help offset the cost of travel, which will be paid to the poet. In these instances, we ask for a name in which we can pay the poet, if different from their chosen (or stage) name. This name will only be disclosed to CIPS Tournament Director Johnny MacRae and Verses Managing Director Pam Bentley for the purposes of generating payment for subsidies.
