HOW IT WORKS?
- Poets have 3 MINUTES to perform one original poem per round (any topic of their choosing).
- Scores range from a 0.0 to a 10.0 -- judges are randomly chosen from the audience.
- No musical accompaniment, no props on stage.
- Two rounds -- the top poets from the first round advance to the second round.
- Winner (combined score from both rounds) receives $20 cash and gets an invite to compete in the Nuyorican Poets Cafe's monthly Final Friday Slam at the Puerto Rican Traveling Theater.
