Audience at Campbelltown Library
Heat 2 of the 2026 SWSA Summer Slam maintained the hot poetry vibe at Campbelltown Library. The scoring was incredibly close with only fractions of a point separating the finalists. Congratulations to Sidharth Nambiar, Aaron Mitchell, Sonny Wissman, Solar, and Cameron Turner who all will be heading to the 2026 Summer Slam Final at the State Library of South Australia on Saturday 7th February 2026. They will be joined by Brooklyn Saliba from Heat 1 along with four other finalists from Heat 1.
As always, massive thanks to everyone who came on the night to support the poets: the audience, the judges, our volunteers, and the fabulous staff at Campbelltown Public Library, who looked after us all so well!!
