Call for Contestants for the Outspoken Word Competition
Outspoken Word Competition—to be held Saturday, September 12 @ 7:30 pm at Magnolia Arts Center

We look forward to hearing you – or seeing you – at our first spoken word event. Newcomer to this type of entertainment? Welcome! Experienced at this type of entertainment? Welcome! Something on your mind that you need to express? This is the event for you. OUTSPOKEN is a mix of slam poetry and storytelling. There is no specific theme for this event. Each speaker can perform two pieces. Each piece can last up to four minutes. No subject is off-limits. Language will not be monitored. Topics can range from serious to comedic. If you’re not certain what constitutes slam poetry, please look at some examples on YouTube. $100 goes to the top participant – as judged by several guests.

All ages are welcome.
