About
Are you Australia’s next Aus Poetry Slam (APS) Champion? Join us for the CQ Heat in Mackay! All you need is an original poem, and 2 minutes on the mic! Two poets from the event will be chosen to compete in the QLD State Finals, Brisbane Sep 27.Whether you’re performing as a poet, or supporting our local wordsmiths in the crowd, we’d love to see you!
PLEASE NOTE: poetry content may not be suitable for young audiences.
If you are a non-verbal poet, struggle with vocal communication or a member of the deaf community, you are welcome to have an interpreter read your poem out loud for the comp. As long as the original poet is next to the speaker, it counts!
