Australian Poetry Slam Final

The Australian Poetry Slam storm returns. Listen as writers flex vocal cords with a new voice. Turning their moments of “...um” into MomentUm. Spitting new poetic revolutions. Watch poets with two minutes on the mic build MomentUm and roar to be heard.

Judged by you, the audience, 16 of the nation’s best wordsmiths grab their moment in the spotlight as they battle for the title “2023 Australian Poetry Slam Champion” and a prize worth $20,000, including publishing opportunities and gigs from Byron to Bali.

Don't miss reigning champion Jo Yang, who will deliver her final performance before she hands over the crown. Australian Poetry Slam National Final is the crescendo of Story Week 2023 #SW23.
