Australian Poetry Slam '08

Victoria's top two slam poets Si and Ezra Bix will battle for the coveted Australian Poetry Slam '08 title and more than $10,000 in cash and prizes at the Sydney Opera House on 4 December.

State final winner Si and runner-up Ezra competed against heat winners from across Victoria in the exciting Poetry Slam final event at the State Library.

Poetry slam contestants are given a microphone and just two minutes to make an impression with their original spoken word acts.

The Australian Poetry Slam is generously supported by a range of sponsors.
