Poetry Slam & Open Mic with Booth

The Event

Indy Reads and Booth (students, faculty, and alumni from the Butler University MFA program) are excited to partner to host our community Poetry Slam & Open Mic.

We welcome poets of all ages . The Slam & Open Mic is family-friendly – no curse words or explicit language will be permitted. Our Slam will begin at 6:30pm followed by the Open Mic.

Advanced registration is required for those wanting to be part of the Slam. Please email Bek Primrose at bprimrose@butler.edu to secure your spot by 5pm, on Friday, July 29.

The Slam will have 10 slots. Judges will score each poem (no longer than three minutes) from 1-10. The three of those that have the highest points will move onto the second round. The person with the highest points during that second round will be the winner. Prizes include a subscription to Booth for one year and a free used book from Indy Reads.

Open Mic sign-ups will be accepted at the Indy Reads bookstore starting at 6pm, on July 30.
