Both attendees and poets must sign up first to be part of the event.

After signing up, you will receive a private event link based on your selection as either a poet or attendee. This link will be the main place for important information leading up to the event.

The private link will include:

• ticket access for attendees

• event updates

• time and location details

• important event-day announcements

• post-event updates

• access to view and download available footage from the slam

For attendees, this same link will also be used for voting. On the day of the event, audience members will receive access to cast their votes for the poets. Votes may be tallied on site or finalized within 48 hours after the event.

This is an outdoor experience, so nature is part of the setting, not just the background.

Please also keep in mind:

• weather conditions may vary

• comfortable shoes are recommended

• bug spray is encouraged if bugs tend to like you

• water is recommended
