Welcome to the Poetry Slam page, where we bring together the power of words and the magic of the stage!
We are proud to announce that Strange Inc., a non-profit publishing house based in New York, is hosting this year's Poetry Slam. As an organization committed to elevating the authentic voices of Muslim women, we see the Poetry Slam as a vital platform for these voices to be heard.
Poetry Slam
Venue: Room 314-315
Time: 05/28/2023 3:30 PM - 5:00 PM
- Our mission is to create a safe and welcoming space for Muslim women to express themselves through poetry and other literary works. We believe that everyone should have the opportunity to be heard, and we are dedicated to providing a platform for these voices to be amplified.
- The Poetry Slam is an opportunity for 12 talented contenders to showcase their poetic skills and share their stories with the world. Attendees will be immersed in an event of powerful and inspirational performances that will leave them moved, entertained, and energized.
- Contenders will have the chance to express themselves and tell their truth through their poetry. They will be judged based on the content of their work and how well they perform it, so it's essential to bring your A-game.
- The competition consists of two rounds. The first round is where contenders submit their work ahead of time, and only 12 winning poets will be selected to compete in the final round. In the final round, each poet will perform their poem live on stage, with a time limit of 3 minutes each, to determine the ultimate winner.
As we approach the competition, we want to remind everyone of some important do's and don'ts:
Do's:
- Bring your best work and give it your all.
- Express yourself and share your truth.
- Respect other contenders and attendees.
- Be open to feedback from the judges.
Don't:
- Plagiarize or use someone else's work.
- Disrespect others with your content.
- Be disruptive or disrespectful during someone else's performance.
We invite all talented poets to sign up for the Poetry Slam and let their words speak for them. And for attendees, get ready for an unforgettable event of poetry that will inspire and uplift you.
