Night of The Living Poet, News, & Standings

Is a poetry slam open to everyone. You must have at least 3 original poems to compete. You may read off paper or notebook or etc, just be sure not to make it a prop which will be explained more down below. Normally there are no costumes allowed, but seeing as its a Halloween theme, this rule will be an exception for THIS SLAM ONLY. No props (be careful you don't mess with accessories on your costume or holding props that go with it. No musical accompaniment. A prop can be your hat or glasses if you take them off or mess with them during your performance. And kind of article of clothing or accessory that you use to emphasize or talk about in a poem, i.e., if you say she bought me a watch and touch your watch or point to it, that could be challenged by other poets as a prop. You have a 3 minute time limit. You have a 10 second grace period, so after 3 minutes and 10 seconds, you will get points deducted from your score. 3:10-3:20 -.5, 3:20-3:30 -1, and so on and so forth. time does not start when your poem starts, TIME STARTS WHEN YOU MAKE INTERACTION WITH THE AUDIENCE. This could be gestures, or talking about your poem. After the 1st round, only the top 5 poets will move on to round 2. After round 2, the top 3 cumulative scores will go into round 3. In round 3, its a clean slate. The poet with the highest score for the round wins the slam.

This slam will count for points towards to Grand Slam. Also just to let you know, there will a show at The Nat on October 23rd. Derrick Brown, Buddy Wakefield, Anis Mojgani, and Andrea Gibson. And a slam at the Panhandle Plains Historical Museum the 6th of November. Please help spread the word about all three shows.

Here are the current point standings. If you ever want a quick reference, the first column in the SLAMarillo myspace top friend list will be the top ten scoring poets, in descending order.
