Academi have once again joined forces with BBC Radio 4 to organise the Welsh Heat of their UK Performance Poetry Slam. Heats will be held across the UK in nine BBC regions and will see established slammers battle it out to be crowned heat winner on their home turf. The two winners from each heat will then go on to compete in the semi-finals which will be broadcast on BBC Radio 4.

The judging panel includes poets Goff Morgan and Hilary Llewellyn-Williams. Your MC for the evening will be Terry Victor.

The slam is only open to experienced performers who have proven themselves in past competitions. If you think you have what it takes then contact Academi to apply for a slot on: 029 2047 2266 / post@academi.org

This is also a great opportunity to enjoy a night in the company of some of Wales’ best poetry performers, so book your ticket now.
