Slam

Slam is a competitive event where individuals or teams perform in front of an audience, typically involving poetry, especially spoken word. Participants, called "slammers," craft and deliver powerful, creative verses that often address personal, social, or political themes. The performance is judged based on originality, delivery, and impact. Slam fosters artistic expression, community engagement, and encourages poets to refine their craft through live competition. It’s a format that highlights voice, presence, and storytelling, making poetry dynamic and accessible to wider audiences.
