ABOUT THE TOURNAMENT
Midwest Poetry Mash-Up is a small (10 team max) team slam poetry tournament. With the (likely permanent) closure of CUPSI and the longer-than-expected hiatus of many regional competitions, we wanted to create a space where college students and regional poets could compete and have a good ole’ tournament in this art form that we love.
When: Friday, April 19th- Saturday, April 20th, 2024
Where: Minneapolis, Minnesota at Strike Theater
Details:
-
2 prelim bouts per team with Saturday evening finals
-
$150 fee per team registration fee

Cash prize of $300 for the winning team
