*All poems must be original works BY YOU! You cannot have someone else write your work!
*All poets will write a short poem based on a prompt provided upon entry to the venue! LC poet that qualifies for grand slam will end up writing 2! Don't be scared, the audience will understand that you *just wrote the thing*
*No hate speech in or outside of your poems: no ableist, racist, sexist, xenophobic, agist, etc etc etc on the mic or off the mic!!
IF YOU MAKE THE TEAM:
*You MUST commit to being available for the ENTIRE WEEK of festival! You cannot reschedule your team's bouts! You cannot send a partial team to a bout! All team members MUST BE PRESENT at all competitions in order to not disqualify your team from the overall competition!
*Give it your ALL! You will be representing Chicago on a NATIONAL STAGE event though it's on our home turf! Locals often come to see their home town team compete because of affinity for their city! So, you WANT your local community to see you as the local rockstar!
