Poetry Slam Heat

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 to represent Macarthur in the Sydney Final!

Poets must perform in their residing state or territory. Full APS ‘24 rules here: www.australianpoetryslam.com/rules

When: Thursday 18 July, 6pm

Ages: 10+
