The Competitors

  List of competing poets!

  All official Poetry Slam, Inc rules apply:
  • Each poem must be of the poet's own construction;
  • Each poet gets a specified number of minutes (plus a ten-second grace period) to read one poem, if the poet goes over, points will be deducted from the total score (see below for the time requirements);
  • The poet may not use props, costumes, or musical instruments;
  • Of the scores the poet received from the five judges, the high and low scores are dropped, and the middle three are added together, giving the poet a total score of 0-30.
