I came across this site while looking for “other stuff” on da ‘Net and thought some of you scriners might be interested or amused.

The Word Wrestling Federation is committed to setting up an annual Australian National Poetry Slam series (and to one day being sued by the World Wildlife Fund).

A Poetry Slam is an audience-judged performance poetry competition. The WWF is a Team Slam - this means poets compete as a team, performing solo, duo, trio or ensemble (all four poets) pieces to the audience.

From the site (about):

have a friend who is a damn fine slam poet, if you’re interested

You should send him/her the link.  Slam poetry, i love the idea.
I just came across the link when I was looking for quite unrelated stuff… you know how it is when you find something kind of related, follow a link from that site and so on - until you quite forget your original purpose (or pretend to forget it for a while at least).
