We write revolutions! Over 1000 writers release wild words on audiences across Australia. Poets break free from their notebook cages landing on a stage near you. Australian Poetry Slam 2024 (APS ’24) invites you to cheer, snap, hold-up scorecards in this nation-wide celebration of spoken-wordsmiths. APS ’24 is about unleashing your thoughts; launching mini-revolutions, like a chorus of kingfishers on a mission. Writers let fly. Alight upon the mic for two minutes. Shout, call out, even softly warble your fresh lit. Crowds will flock with cheers and hoots. Judges, chosen from the audience, will send two poetic messengers from each heat on to the South Australia State Final! Two State Finalists will then head off to the National Final at Sydney Opera House on 13th October 2024.
Are you the next APS Champion? Win a prize worth $20,000, including publication and gigs from Byron to Bali and beyond.
Poets must perform in their state or territory of usual residence. You must perform original new work. You will have 2 minutes to perform a single poem with no props or musical accompaniment. Read the full APS ‘24 rules here: www.australianpoetryslam.com/rules.
