The 2015 National Poetry Slam is coming BACK to Oakland, California August 10th-15th, 2015!
Up to 72 teams from around the U.S. and Canada will be accepted by Poetry Slam, Inc. to compete in the world’s BIGGEST poetry slam competition, all fighting to reach the ultimate stage: the four-team National Poetry Slam Finals.
The National Poetry Slam is an annual poetry slam championship tournament, where teams of poets gather to share their work with the community and to compete against each other for the national team title. The festival is part championship tournament, part poetry summer camp, and part traveling exhibition. Staged in a different city each year, the National Poetry Slam has emerged as spoken word’s highest profile showcase!
