Join in Poetry Slam at Cowra Friday 3 July

Cowra Library is one of 8 regional centres selected to host an Australian Poetry Slam Heat. It is fantastic opportunity for people of all ages to showcase their performing talents and be part of this exciting event. It is most like theatre sports. Performers sign up on the night and have two minutes to impress the judges with their rap, rhyme, story or spoken word performance. Cowra will host the Australian Poetry Slam Regional Heat on Friday 3 July at Cowra Library from 5.30pm. People who want to perform can sign up from 5pm. Five judges are selected randomly from the audience and the middle scores averaged out for each performance. So it is a fair competition and anyone can win on the night. We need people to get up and have a go and they could go on to win the State or even National titles and of course, we need an audience. They will have a great time. Also see talented word artist Miles Merrill perform. It is brought to you by the State Library of NSW.
