Roundhouse Poetry Slam - Call for Poets
Deadline: Mon 26 Oct 2020
Could you be the next Roundhouse Slam Champion? After being postponed earlier this year due to COVID-19, the Roundhouse has announced that its annual Poetry Slam will be going ahead digitally, live streamed from the Roundhouse. Open to all poets aged 18-25 with some poetry writing and performance experience and able to compete at a high level.
This year’s Slam final judges include writer and poet Anthony Anaxagorou, poet, editor and essayist Will Harris and cultural producer and writer Tobi Kyeremateng.
By taking part, you’ll get….
• The chance to showcase your talent in front of online audiences.
• The opportunity to make industry contacts, raise your profile and network with peers and professionals in the spoken word industry.
• Have the opportunity to compete for the title of Roundhouse Slam Champion and win a cash prize if you finish in the top three or win the audience vote.
• Finalists’ performances will be professionally filmed and uploaded to the Roundhouse YouTube Channel, which has over 16,000 subscribers. Past finalist videos have been reposted by global online publications and accumulated views in excess of 5 million.
• Cash prizes for the runners up
Please note, this year we will be hosting the Slam Heats online via Zoom. We hope that the final can take part live at the Roundhouse, but will of course be keeping an eye on the latest government advice.
