SYDNEY FINAL – AUSTRALIAN POETRY SLAM
Story Week: Growing Deeper

We ask writers to dig deeper. Find that vulnerable place inside and turn it into bravery. Spill little truths and light up the crowd with their flow. They nailed the city-wide heats. Now, catch the best Sydney spoken-word folks ripping up their notebooks and slamming head first into this finale.

Your job as an audience other than cheer, snap, laugh and scream? Choose two writers to represent Sydney in the NSW State Final the next night.

It’s time to join the election campaign for a new Australian Poetry Slam-bassador. POETS RUN THIS!
