Let the games begin! July is the start of the new youth slam season. From now til February 2016 poets will have a chance to garner points towards making the youth slam playoffs in March of 2016.
The youth slam is open to all poets who are 13-20 years of age. The youth slam happens on the 4th Monday of each month at Cafe Deux Soleils. Sign up at the day of the show only.
There will be 2 rounds of 3 minute poems. 12 poets in the 1st round and the top 5 advance to the 2nd (unless there is a tie) Each poet in the 2nd round is awarded points. Cash and prizes are up for grabs as well.
And this month we feature the debut of the 2015 youth slam team which is comprised of our grand slam champion Mariah Dear along with Vienna Claire Jeffery, Andrew Warner, Alex Montinola and Emma Field. Come celebrate their first performance as a team. It should be fun.
