The slam is a poetry competition where individuals present and perform original works of poetry to an audience staged as an interactive show.
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.
The slam and its accompanying interactive elements place a dual emphasis on writing and performance, encouraging poets to focus on what they’re saying and how they’re saying it. Poets receive a numerical score for their work based on the poets’ content and performance from judges typically selected from the audience.
