Poetry NI proudly presents The Belfast Book Festival Poetry Slam
Friday 9th June, Crescent Arts Centre, Belfast, 9pm (£4 entry)

Open to all poets, we invite you to take the mic and enter our annual poetry slam competition. Share your work in front of a lively and appreciative audience, with new readers always welcome.

To enter, just register at the start of the night; names will be drawn out at random, with each poet invited onstage to read, competing to become Slam Champion 2017!

This year, the winner will receive the inaugural Brian Bailey Memorial Cup, in tribute to the much missed poet and pioneer of the Belfast live poetry scene. Poems in tribute to Brian will also be read out on the night.

For full rules, click here.

Check out our Facebook event page, book tickets via the Crescent Box Office or purchase on the night.
