The Steel City Slam is bringing the city’s top ten poets together to battle it out for the title, the trophy — and most importantly — the bragging rights to called Pittsburgh’s finest.

With a history dating back to 1995, the Pittsburgh Poetry Collective creates space for self-expression, identity exploration and social justice via community, spoken word, poetry slam, writing & performance workshops and poet showcases.

Here’s how it works: poets will have a limited time slot to present work of their original composition. Then, five selected and esteemed (not to mention good-looking!) members of the audience will give the poem a score.
