KMAC Poetry Slam
The Next KMAC Poetry Slam is Saturday, September 26th at 5:30pm.
KMAC Poetry Slams are one of Louisville's premiere slam poetry events. Typically held on the last Saturday of the month (unless otherwise noted), the slam is a competition amongst local poets and juried by audience members. This event is made possible by Lance Newman, a.k.a Mr. SpreadLove, and Young Poets of Louisville.
Admission to the KMAC Poetry Slam is free. For those interested in competing, please arrive fifteen minutes early to register with the Slam host, Lance Newman. There will be a $10 fee for competitors. We recommend having one poem prepared or each of the three rounds. Poems must be no longer than three minutes each. Each poem will be judged on a scale from 0.0 to 10 by five randomly selected audience members. Prizes will be awarded to the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place winners.
