Poway, California, has just nailed the bid to host this year’s acclaimed Blank Verse Poetry Slam Contest (BVPSC.) Beautiful Poway edged out strong entries from such fine cites as: San Franciso, New York, New Delhi, and Lhasa (Tibet), Is there nothing Poway can’t do? It’s the happening place, for sure
The cut-off date for submitting applications is June 29. Don’t delay! The competition is sure to be fierce. See you there.
Just remember the main rule. Your entry must not contain any written or spoken words. It’s a blank-verse competition after all. Please send your application form, your blank page, and a tape of silence, for those submitting a audio entry.
Note that mimes and monks who’ve taken a vow of silence are usually the most likely to win.
Last year’s winner, Amos Keeto’s “Ode to an Artichoke”
