Description
TORONTO POETRY SLAM is a twice-monthly spoken word competition, where the judges vote on each poem presented. TPS is produced by Toronto Poetry Project, a spoken word collective dedicated to promoting the art form in the GTA and beyond.
Our home venue is the Drake Hotel Underground, 1150 Queen St. W.
TPS is all about ideas, with one in particular: people sharing poetry for everyone to enjoy. You'll hear pure honesty poured onto the stage, wrapped in an entertaining performance style you won't see anywhere else.
Best of all, anyone can slam! Just arrive at the Drake to sign up for 730pm sharp. Judges from the audience score each poem between 0 and 10, basing their scores on both content n' performance. 12 poets are in the first round, then it's whittled down to 6, and the a final 3 poets battle it out in the final round. Winners get $80 and a bye into the semis. Poets can also get points towards making the Toronto Poetry Slam Team.
