Interested in competing for the team? This is the LAST CHANCE to qualify before the team is selected at the Grand slam in May!*

*NOTE: to compete in the Last Chance Slam, you MUST have competed in at least one month of the season (August - March) previous to now.

Check out the rules below: 

THE RULES
Each poem must be of the poet’s own construction. Each poet gets three minutes (plus a ten-second grace period) per poem. If the poet goes over time, points will be deducted from the total score. The poet may not use props, costumes or musical instruments. Of the scores the poet received from the five judges (random audience volunteers), the high and low scores are dropped and the middle three are added together, giving the poet a total score of 0-30.
All poets must sign up day of at the door and a random draw will be conducted once the list closes! If you are interested in a spot and coming from out of town or looking for more clarification, email us at events@buttonpoetry.com
