Are you passionate about poetry? Join us for an energetic spoken word/performance poetry competition.

Whether you're a master of the spoken word, or a novice, we can't wait to hear your creative and poetic voice!

A poetry slam is the competitive art of performance poetry. It embraces and emphasizes both writing and performance; its not just about what you say, but how you say it.  

This is a first come, first serve basis. Please arrive early to sign up for a spot. Names will be drawn from a hat for performance order. We have five (5) spots for open mic poets, and twelve (12) spots for competing poets. The winner will take home a $75 cash prize! 

Hosted by Paul Edward Costa, Mississauga Poet Laureate
