We can’t wait to find out who you’re sending to Vancouver to win the title of Canadian Individual Poetry Slam champion!! And we hope you’re ready to tell us you’re sending someone: registration for SpoCan venue reps will open on FEBRUARY 1st, 2017.
If you are the host, or Slam Master of a Canadian poetry slam and are on the list of registered SpoCan venues, you are invited to send a venue representative to compete in the Canadian Individual Poetry Slam championships (CIPS).
CIPS occurs during the 2017 Versəs Festival between April 26th and April 29th. Each year the winner of this competition goes on to represent English speaking Canada during the World Poetry Slam in Paris, France, the following year. (Our congrats and support to last year’s CIPS champion, Andre Prefontaine, who will go to Paris later this year).
Rep registration information can be sent to CIPS Tournament Director Johnny Trinh at CIPS.Tournament.Director@gmail.com. The fee for each venue rep is $35 (which can be paid at our online Box Office). Venue registration closes on MARCH 3rd, 2017.

Registration for Storm Poets (poets not representing a particular venue) begins March 4th at noon, and is first come, first served.
