Online Poetry Slam Heat

Write a revolution. Write to speak. Write to be heard in Australia’s largest performance poetry competition!

For Poets please register HERE

For Audience members please register HERE

Hosted by Ren Alessandra, poets have two minutes to perform their original work; no props, no costumes, no music. Judges are randomly chosen from the audience. The two highest-scoring poets will represent Coffs Harbour in the NSW Final!

From June to October, APS heats and workshops connect storytellers across the nation, leading to eight State Finals and the National Final as part of Story Week 2021.
