Join the Arts & Science Center for Southeast Arkansas for its first slam poetry competition, Spill the Ink, hosted by Tru Poet. The community is invited to participate in the poetry slam to win CASH PRIZES, or to simply attend and enjoy the art of spoken word.
Spill the Ink: Poetry Slam will take place Saturday, June 17, from 6-9:30 PM, at Catherine M. Bellamy Theater, 701 S. Main Street, in Pine Bluff. Compete to win cash prizes. First-place prize is $500, second place is $300, and third place is $100.
Registration fee (for competitors): $25 ASC members; $30 nonmembers. Admission (for audience): $10 ASC members; $15 nonmembers. Drinks and snacks will be available to purchase. Participants must be 16 years or older to participate in the competition, and advanced registration is required. Spill the Ink: Poetry Slam is a competitive poetry performance judged by professional poets and randomly selected audience members. Poets will battle for three rounds until only one competitor is left standing to win the cash prizes and bragging rights. Poets are encouraged (not required) to prepare a different poem for each round. For more information, visit www.asc701.org/spill-the-ink.
