Events - Festival 2021

It’s a highlight of the festival and a touchstone of the Scottish spoken word scene: what better way to round off the day than with the annual StAnza slam? Check out the first round of our slam available online as videos throughout the festival, and join us on the night for two final heats. Whether you come to compete for the coveted StAnza Slam title or to cheer on the contestants, a night of thrills is guaranteed. Guiding us through the night is Hannah Raymond-Cox, a former StAnza slam champion and current Barbican Young Poet. Start your engines, and may the best poet win!

To take part, email your name, email address, and mobile number to works@stanzapoetry.org by 10 February 2021. Places are limited.
