The best spoken word artists in Calgary have competed year round and we've tallied the scores-the top 10 will compete at finals! The winner of this slam will go on to represent Calgary at the Canadian Individual Poetry Slam—the national slam competition held yearly in Vancouver in April! The winner will also receive $650 towards travel costs.

Competitors are selected based on year round scoring stats, so come out to see the best Calgary has to offer and watch them duke it out for the title of Calgarys official slam representative!
