Join the nation-wide search for the people’s poet.

Are you the next Australian Poetry Slam Champion? All you need is an original poem and two minutes on the mic. If you prefer to shine from the audience, join us to listen, cheer, snap your fingers and hold-up scorecards in this national celebration of spoken-wordsmiths.

Whether you’re performing as a poet or supporting local wordsmiths from the crowd – this is the place to be. A poetry slam is a place for all voices. It’s APS 2025 – The Election Special.
